fears V family holiday in mayorca V common sense V risk V travel health insurance exclusions V 14 day quarantine . Think i will call airlines and hotel to cancel till at least october
So should we stop all the trucks with our food and materials too? There are hundreds of truckers arriving and leaving Mallorca daily. And if I see how things are on the ferries among truckers....... Corona is here and till there is a vaccin, live with it and do what you think is right for you.
Oh now there’s a surprise!!!Why on earth don't they start testing people who are travelling to the Balearics from high infection areas in Spain?It’s simple common sense.Perhaps Gov should read your comments section - readers have been saying this would happen for weeks now.Doesn’t take a degree in medical science to work this one out folks.
doesn't matter where they come from. they're in majorca now. and the numbers keep growing because majorca cannot manage covid adequately.
What about in the last 2 weeks? Bit late to close the stable door when the horses have bolted. If there is one thing that has been learnt about this virus, everyone is at risk whether a national or a foreigner.
So the biggest import source is mainland Spain yet still no controls. Surely the Balearic govt can instigate these control measures rather than impotently waiting for Madrid’s word?
