Huge queues at UK airport as travellers returning from Spain complain holiday plans were ruined by 'knee-jerk' quarantine rules

Travellers returning from holidays in Spain vented their frustration today, complaining their plans had been 'ruined' by the Government's new quarantine rules. As of midnight on Saturday, holidaymakers were told they must self-isolate for 14 days upon their return to the UK from Spain after the European country recorded a surge in coronavirus cases. Initially the the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advised only against 'all non-essential' travel to mainland Spain, but this advice was updated to include the Balearic and Canary Islands on Monday evening.
