British holidaymakers have been left “shocked and confused” after ministers removed Spain from the UK government’s travel corridor exemption list following a rise in Covid-19 cases in the country.

The move will mean all travellers returning from the country, including the Spanish islands, will have to self-isolate for two weeks, the UK Department for Transport confirmed.
