A vaccine passport system could be introduced In Britain in weeks to allow twice-vaccinated tourists to travel abroad without quarantining on their return. The UK government confirmed yesterday that it was considering using jab status to allow travellers to avoid having to self-isolate for up to ten days on return from European countries, including Italy.
This welcome move will be considered as part of a review of the ‘traffic light’ system for overseas travel, due on 28 June.
“The change would mean the the return of quarantine-free holidays to hotspots such as Spain, Portugal, France, Greece and Italy,†says the Times of London this morning.
Travel industry bosses want the change to be introduced by July 1 to coincide with the introduction of the EU “digital Covid certificateâ€, which will let vaccinated people or those with a negative test travel freely within Europe.
So hopefully at last, we will be able to welcome visitors to our renowned Watermill creative week-long creative courses.
