First Choice - All inclusive conundrum.. Time running out...

Hi - I have a problem that may be familiar to many.  We are due to fly 14 July to Majorca for an all inclusive holiday.  First Choice originally advised they would contact by today with anyone holidaying between 11 July - 1st Aug to tell them if holidays would be going ahead.  They removed this assurance from the website Today (day it was due!).
Our first thought was reschedule the holiday to 2021.  First Choice allow this up to 10 days before the holiday - we are due to fly in 14 days so time is running out for us here. BUT as we are flying with Easy Jet as part of the package First Choice stipulate you can rebook only if the package has a flight with the same carrier.. having run through the website there are no flights available with Easy Jet!  It looks as though we cannot therefore use there option to reschedule.  Multipple attempts and several hours on the phone have got us nowhere.
Has anyone found themselves in a similar position?  We really dont want to go on the trip now - its all inclusive and the experience is just not going to be right with dining/ pool etc. it  just feels like its going to be unworkable with social distancing  and the hazard etc.  We have three days to fix the rebooking quandry before time runs out and we cant reshedule anyway we cannot reach anyone at First Choice to speak to and so frustrated they've back tracked on this assurance.
Does anyone see a solution to this circumstance if we cant reach First Choice to discuss?  Is the feeling now that all inclusive holidays to Majorca are going ahead for the 14th or are cancellations likely at this stage?  Thanks for any advice or insight
