Mallorca in focus: The holiday island popular with Germans wants to readjust the Covid rules for New Year's Eve after the latest Corona debauchery.
Celebrations with unvaccinated people are prohibited.
Munich / Palma de Mallorca - The coronavirus pandemic will continue to dominate everyday life in Germany in winter 2021. Just gone? Get out of the rules patchwork and into milder climes? Around New Year's Eve there are specially set up online portals that offer trips to Mallorca, for example. One is, for example,

.
In addition, according to the
Rheinischer Post
and
General-Anzeiger
, German emigration to the popular Balearic island has boomed again in the past pandemic months.
According to
Mallorca Magazin (MM)
, the number of German residents has almost halved from around 36,000 in 2009 to almost 19,000 at the beginning of 2020.
Nevertheless: “Malle”, a rather colloquial term, is still in vogue.
Also on New Year's Eve 2021, despite Corona rules.

The spread of Covid-19 and the omicron variant of the corona virus should be curbed on New Year's Eve.
According to

widespread images from a discotheque in which young people celebrated on the dance floor without masks as "unfortunate and unbearable".

Because: Even on the seventh largest Mediterranean island, the situation remains tense.
The Balearic government had reported 688 new infections with the corona virus in the capital Madrid on December 27, the day before 938 new infections were registered within 24 hours.
Therefore, a strict mask requirement also applies outdoors.
Smoking is only allowed while standing, not while walking.
As the
Mallorca Zeitung
writes, there have been long queues in front of private clinics for PCR tests in the past few days.
The question remains: How do the latest findings and observations affect the rules on New Year's Eve?
