Quote from the BBC. Talks are under way with Spain about introducing air bridges with the Balearic and Canary Islands, a UK government source has confirmed. An air bridge would mean people arriving from the islands would not have to quarantine for 14 days after rules changed this weekend. The travel industry is hoping ministers make a decision by Friday. A government source indicated to the BBC there will not be an immediate decision. One travel industry source said the government had told them it wanted to study more data from Spain's Islands before making a decision.
That last sentence is just ridiculous and groping for an excuse. Surely they made the decision to impose quarantine by studying the data in the first place. It would reflect badly on Bungling Johnson and his stooges if they changed the rule for the islands so quickly after imposing quarantine.
