Face masks have become a part of daily life during the pandemic, but a number of destinations are starting to relax their Covid rules - and that includes face coverings.
For example these are no longer mandatory in England and Northern Ireland, while France is set to ditch face mask and vaccine pass rules later this month.
There are also hopes that Spain could follow suit and ditch mask rules in time for the Easter holidays, although currently these remain mandatory in indoor spaces, as well as large events in outdoor spaces.
Meanwhile, Jet2 has become the first airline to ditch face mask rules on its flights, specifically routes from England and Northern Ireland.
We take a look at the current face mask rules in popular holiday hotspots like France, Spain, Greece and more below.
