Canary Islands to lift coronavirus restrictions ahead of Easter holidays

A top holiday destination for Brits will be lifting most of their Covid travel restrictions in time for the Easter holidays. The Canary Islands will be scrapping various rules from this week, including capacity limits in both indoor and outdoor venues, which will now be able to operate at full capacity.

Venues such as theatres and cinemas will be able to run at full capacity. From Thursday other entertainment activities including sports events and leisure activities will also open at 100 per cent capacity, the Canarian Weekly reports.

The move comes as 84 per cent of the population are now jabbed, HullLive reports. President of the Canary Islands government, Ángel Víctor Torres, announced: "It is not the end of the pandemic, of course not, we must remain vigilant and if the situation worsens we will have to reintroduce them."
