Foreign Travel – following the announcement on Saturday by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office that travellers arriving in the UK from Spain must now quarantine for 14 days, this has now been extended to include the Canary Islands and Balearic Islands. The FCO is advising against all non-essential travel to mainland Spain and the Islands and anyone now travelling against that advice may risk invalidating their travel insurance.
