    Thousands of German tourists are flocking to Majorca ahead of the Easter weekend, despite the German government advising against travel.

    At the weekend 130 flights from Germany landed on Majorca, and German travel agents estimated they brought at least 16,000 tourists.

    Even so, the numbers so far are less than 40% of the pre-pandemic level.

    A German government official, Helge Braun, was quoted as saying “an Easter holiday under current circumstances is simply not justifiable”.

    But Germany, unlike the UK, has not banned foreign holidays. And Germany considers Majorca currently to be low risk.

    Germany is struggling with high infection rates and a partial lockdown is in force, so returning tourists will have to show evidence of a negative test, taken in Majorca. The rapid antigen test - also called lateral flow - is acceptable.

    Majorca hotels are making the test available. A local German-language paper, Mallorca Zeitung, says anyone testing positive can serve their quarantine free of charge in a hotel set aside for Covid patients, provided they have the EU health insurance card (Ehic).
