Millions of Britons have been allowed to travel to European holiday hotspots to avoid being quarantined when returning from France and Spain, where there are concerns about the Covid variant.
Ministers announced on Wednesday that fully vaccinated vacationers returning from France will no longer need to be quarantined and Abandoned the “watch list” plan Amber countries, such as Spain.
This move may partially revive the troubled tourism industry, but it will raise questions about whether the government is complacent about the spread of the Beta version.
Under the pressure of the rebellious cabinet ministers, the decision to abandon the plan to be placed on the watch list will also expose British tourists to the risk of the plan being suspended without any notice, which will trigger the ghost of the chaotic tourist corridor last summer.
People under the age of 18 and those who were completely stabbed in the UK are now exempt from isolation, as well as those who have been vaccinated in the EU and the US.
