Germany lifts travel warning for 27 European countries

Germany has lifted its travel warning for 27 countries in continental Europe, reports CNN.

Spain is not included in the list, but some German tourists can now travel to the popular Balearic island of Mallorca.

Frankfurt airport this morning remained quiet, however. Only two flights are leaving for Palma de Mallorca today the departure display showed, according to CNN affiliate n-tv. 

Spain’s Balearic Islands are set to see 10,900 German visitors in the second half of June in a “pilot project” to test tourism safety measures during the pandemic, the Balearic regional president said. 

The project starts on June 15 -- two weeks before the rest of Spain reopens for tourism -- and includes the islands of Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera.
