Foreign holidays are unlikely to be back on the cards until August, it was claimed today despite plans to lift the domestic lockdown in June. Even once the restrictions are eased destinations with higher infection rates are expected to face extra rules such as quarantine. Boris Johnson said yesterday that he is wary of the prospect of rising coronavirus infection rates, but sees 'absolutely nothing in the data' to change his roadmap. Meanwhile, it has been claimed the UK is ready to offer 3.7million jabs to Ireland after Easter, partly to help ease lockdown restrictions in Northern Ireland. In Wales, lockdown restrictions were eased when the 'stay local' requirement was dropped on Saturday and people were allowed to stay in self-contained holiday accommodation.
