After everything people in Mallorca, and elsewhere across the world, have been through, and are still faced with, it would be a disaster for the island if it was taken off the green travel list.

The island, along with the rest of the Balearics, is on the watch list and events involving the students over the past week, the rising number of cases and increase in the positivity rate have not gone unnoticed in the United Kingdom.

The Balearic government, which can not be held totally responsible for every short coming, has made it clear that we are far from out of the pandemic woods yet and with cases rising again, some sections of the tourist industry are getting a bit nervous about what the implications may be should the situation continue to get worse.
