Double-vaccinated Britons can swerve
quarantine when they arrive from amber-listed countries from 19 July, the government has confirmed.
Transport secretary
Grant Shapps announced the forthcoming rule changes on Thursday after the
prime minister confirmed on Monday that the government would “work with the
travel industry towards removing the need for fully vaccinated arrivals to isolate on return from an amber country”.
The announcement comes as every adult in the UK can now receive their second dose of a
coronavirus vaccine eight weeks after their first jab as the government races to accelerate the vaccine rollout programme.
By halving the gap between jabs, all adults should have had the chance to receive both doses of a Covid vaccine by mid-September, health secretary Sajid Javid said earlier this week.
