The Foreign Office has warned British nationals against non-essential travel to the Canary and Balearic islands, in a move bringing the popular tourist destinations in line with mainland Spain.

It comes days after the UK announced holidaymakers in Spain would have to quarantine on return due to a spike in cases there.

Meanwhile, Jet2 has suspended all flights and package holidays to mainland Spain until mid-August.

Downing Street has warned “no travel is risk-free” during the Covid-19 pandemic.
