Holidaymakers heading to the Balearic Islands are being advised to wear face coverings to guard against a rising number of coronavirus cases. Health officials have warned the vulnerable should once again wear a mask in enclosed spaces - although there are no current plans to make it compulsory.
A new wave of Covid infections is sweeping across the popular holiday islands - which includes Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza - with current variant more contagious but milder than previous strains. However, medics have warned there is still a danger for the vulnerable.
Masks are currently only compulsory on public transport but there are calls to restore the face covering mandate to all indoor settings, such as bars, restaurants and shops. Cyprus has already restored mask rules for indoor settings with 300 euro fines threatened for people who ignore the regulation.
