Ibiza, Mallorca and Menorca will be moved back on to the amber list next week, just over a fortnight after they went green.

The latest travel list changes will take effect from 4am on Monday (19 July) for those returning to England Scotland and Wales, which could spark a rush for holidaymakers already in Spain’s Balearic Islands to get home in time to avoid quarantine.

Younger adults will be worst affected as the changes coincide with the end of the quarantine requirement for those who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19, as many are still awaiting their second jab.

What are the changes to the travel list?

Bulgaria and Hong Kong will both be added to the green list on Monday, meaning travellers will not have to self-isolate on their return to the UK, regardless of their vaccination status.

Croatia and Taiwan will be added to the “green watchlist”, which means they are at risk of being moved from green to amber.

The Balearic Islands and British Virgin Islands will also be moved from the green list to amber due to a sharp rise in Covid-19 cases.
