Britain advises citizens not to travel to Spain as it removes the country from the list of safe places to visit following an increase of Covid19 cases
Spain's Canary and Balearic Islands are not covered by the advice to avoid travel to the mainland, but holidaymakers returning to Britain from the islands will still be subject to quarantine on return.
The British move followed steps this week by other European countries. On Friday Norway said it would re-impose a 10-day quarantine requirement for people arriving from Spain, while France advised people not to travel to Spain's northeastern region of Catalonia. The announcement of such lists just weeks ago had allowed Europe's tourism sector to begin to revive after the near total shut-down prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic.Responding to the British measures, Spain said on Saturday it was a safe country with localised, isolated and controlled outbreaks of the virus.
Britain's opposition Labour Party said the news was "deeply concerning" and called for support for British people affected.
