Thousands
of British tourists have had their holidays to Spain thrown into chaos, after
the British government advised against all non-essential travel to the country
and re-imposed a 14 day quarantine on people returning from there to the UK.
It follows
a dramatic increase in coronavirus infections in Spain, with nearly 1,000 new
cases reported in just two days.
Many
thousands of Britons are already on holiday in the country or had plans to
travel there over the summer.
The
announcement means almost all package holidays are likely to be cancelled and
any travellers who chooses to ignore the Foreign Office advice may be
uninsured. Anyone in Spain who returns
to the UK from Sunday 26 July will be required to self-isolate for 14 days.
British
Airways said it was "disappointed" by the decision which had thrown
the travel plans of thousands of people
into chaos.
