Double vaccinated passengers returning to the UK from the UK France After the ministers made last-minute changes to the rules that will take effect on Monday, they will still be forced to quarantine next week.
Starting from July 19th, all Britons who have received two Covid jabs and returned from the Amber List countries have been told that they do not need to complete a 10-day quarantine at home.
This situation will remain the same everywhere except France. The Guardian revealed earlier this week that given the increase in cases of the Beta variant, there are concerns about the country-first discovered in South Africa.
On Wednesday, the United Biosafety Center’s official recommendations to them were divided, suggesting that France should be added to the red list-this is an important step, only British citizens and nationals are allowed to enter England, and then forced to stay 11 nights in a hotel , Starting at £1,750.
A government source said that due to major diplomatic and political influence, they decided to oppose the move, but discussions continued for the next two days, and a decision was finally announced on Friday night.
This will affect thousands of British holidaymakers who are prepared to benefit from the new easing policy, allowing them to visit France during the school summer vacation, as well as travelers who wish to visit relatives across the Strait.
Anyone who arrives from France after July 19 or has been fully vaccinated in the country for the past 10 days can still leave the quarantine area after the 5th day using the “test release” system.
All passengers will continue the pre-departure test and fill out the passenger location form. At the same time, passengers who have received two injections will also need to show proof of vaccine through the NHS application or a printed letter.
Conservative MP Henry Smith called this change a “real setback”, and he is chairman of the Aviation Future All-Party Parliamentary Group.
He said that the traffic light system, which classifies countries according to their quarantine requirements, is designed to provide “urgently needed certainty” but “will only cause confusion”, adding that “the last-minute announcement raises major issues”, that is, the Whether the system is suitable for the purpose.
Smith added: “We cannot continue this intermittent international travel method, which has shattered consumer confidence, pushed the company to the edge, and will lead to further unemployment.”
The Ministry of Health stated that this change was made as a “preventive measure” and added that it will “continue to evaluate the latest data and track the prevalence of Beta variants”.
Health Minister Sajid Javid said that he had warned that the government would take “quick action” when necessary and vowed to “do everything we can” to protect the country from the effects of mutated imports.
In a separate development, British citizens will be largely barred from entering Bulgaria Next week, although the country also enters the UK’s green list of exemption from quarantine.
Just two days after the Minister of Transport, Grant SharpsThe Bulgarian Minister of Health, Stojjo Kazarov, announced that Bulgaria and Hong Kong have been included in the green list, and the United Kingdom, along with Cyprus, Spain, Fiji and Kuwait, has been included in its high-risk “red zone” list.
This means that starting from Monday, only Bulgarian nationals, long-term residents and their immediate family members are eligible to enter the United Kingdom.
The decision was made after the number of new coronavirus cases in the UK rose to more than 50,000 for the first time in six months-almost all cases are Delta variants. The latest peak of infections shows little signs of slowing down, and there is concern that the number of infections may soon reach 100,000 when England relaxes most of the legal restrictions starting on Monday.
