Fully-vaccinated US and EU nationals will be able to travel to England from next month without the need to quarantine, ministers have decided. From 4am on August 2, the UK government will formally recognise American vaccine certificates, including paper versions, as well as EU versions that confirm someone has been double-jabbed. But while the Scottish government enthusiastically endorsed the policy, the Welsh government expressed “deep regret” at the UK government’s move. Under the scheme, US and EU citizens will no longer need to quarantine for 10 days when travelling to Britain from “amber list” countries, a requirement that was ditched for fully inoculated British citizens on July 19. We need to make sure that we’ve got proper data-driven analysis, and that we look at an international passport for vaccines.
