The double-jab travel announcement has sparked a massive surge in holiday bookings for the Balearics, especially Mallorca.

This is what the new double-jab scheme will mean for UK residents.

Fully vaccinated UK residents arriving in England from amber travel list destinations will no longer have to quarantine from 19 July

The rules apply to people 14 days after their final dose of the vaccine
