The Balearics are going to appeal the decision as it has low rates of infection. Mainly the Spanish peninsula.
Going off topic, I can understand why people want to go to Spain for a holiday, the hotels in the uk are so expensive
// They must or be fined , isn't that the case?//
if there is an outbreak at work
then I be inclined to fire them

Puzzled. You are right, but I can't understand why people feel they must have a holiday this year. I would opt for days out this year and feel far safer and more relaxed.

At the very least PP they should be suspended - but there will be many employers who accept them back (and then they should be taken to task for health and safety reasons!)
I expect no-one will take any notice of it unless they are forced to.
>How likely is it that those returning will comply?

The answer is pretty much the same as for anyone already here who should be /should have been self-isolating.

It's possible though that as the details of those returning are known spot checks could be carried out, but I think it would be done very rarely. These processes have to run mainly on trust, and to a lesser extent on people reporting those who flout it. A good employer may know if someone has returned from Spain and would require them to take the extra time off
you'll probably find that your holiday insurance is void as well so don't break your leg while you're there . . .

current advice here
https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain

all the islands are exempt. those already in spain are not being advised immediate return, so their insurance will likely remain valid. but since advice today is "essential travel only" anyone leaving now may find their insurance voided.

Mushroom from your link and mine

/ If you are returning from Spain (including from the Balearics and Canaries) on or after 26 July you will be required to quarantine on your return to the UK/

My question was about compliance with quarantine. The island's are not exempt from that.

^^^Yet.

It flies in the face of common sense to say on the one hand you can freely travel to the islands because they’re safe, but you must quarantine when you get back.
The whole thing is a cluster
Oh well its back to the Log Cabin for a week then.
you could get a fever . . .
I did say a few weeks back, that we would see plane loads of infection coming back, but eh oh, they just couldn't wait to get that cheap booze down their necks, and Boris just hadn't got the b***s to hold all holidays abroad till next year. Now everyone will be begging for their holiday money back again. Get ready NHS. :0)
People should not be holidaying abroad in the first place. The UK economy needs your money. Many businesses are going to close, and many jobs will be lost. And you spending your money in Spain instead of the UK will hasten that.
on the occasions I've arrived at Gatwick over the past year, you walk miles along a shared concourse and enter the immigration hall with thousands of others. the officers have no clue where you've arrived from unless you tell them and they have no idea if you're telling the truth. (last year I arrived from the isle of man and was directed to the same immigration hall - luckily I had my passport...)
What a delicious irony that Grant Shapps - the minister responsible for the shambolic 'air bridges' policy - flew to Spain yesterday morning for a family holiday, and now will have to self-isolate for 14 days.
if he takes his lead from Cummings, he won't bother
// The UK economy needs your money. //

true. but the holiday area locals don't want you and your imported city infection, particularly if their local NHS facility is less than comprehensive (as it tends to be in country areas).

here's the welcome you can expect in Suffolk - and Cornwall feels the same. https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/coronavirus-suffolk-southwold-banners-protest-1-6591748
their businesses may well be going down the toilet, but they still don't want you. what's the point of going somewhere if you'll be resented?
