By David Churchill Transport Correspondent For The Daily MailPublished: 17:06 EDT, 23 June 2021 | Updated: 18:37 EDT, 23 June 2021Angela Merkel yesterday called on other European countries to force UK travellers to quarantine on arrival in a major threat to ministers’ plans to reopen foreign travel. The German Chancellor said she would like other European nations to require travellers from countries with a high prevalence of the Indian variant, like Britain, to go into quarantine. Health minister Roberto Speranza said on Friday that Italy will require all travellers from Britain to quarantine for five days upon arrival. But if other European countries listen to Mrs Merkel’s call then UK holidaymakers’ options could be limited even further this summer. Portugal, Spain and Greece are still allowing UK holidaymakers to visit with proof of a negative test and no quarantine.
