Argentina taken off UKs red list

The UK government has taken Argentina off the red list of banned countries and fully vaccinated travelers do not have to quarantine as from Monday 11th October.

However, Sputnik Vaccinated Argentine residents will have to spend 10 days in jail, sorry in quarantine, at a cost of over 2 thousand quid.

The good news is that we should see the return of BA flights sooner rather than later.

I thought we were in the territory of indications. leaks and strong hints, so I'm pleased if it's now official. Though devil will be in the detail

The big problem is getting airlines to get their planes back in the right place and publish schedules that wont be cancelled.

3 or 4 messy months ahead, I think.

Not completely true, it is self quarantine at your choice of location and price, which can be shortened to as little as 5 days with test to release

Is the choice of location a new idea?

Up until now, it is book blind on the government website and they allocate you a place.. in a hotel of their choice.

Please remember that the Sputnik vaccinated residents of Argentina are treated by the UK as non vaccinated.

Not that I am in any way a fan of the Sputnik juice, but it seems that the WHO is again restarting the approval process - so perhaps this darned shot will still work for those (un)lucky enough to have received it. In all fairness... if the Chinese juice got "approval", I dont see how something created by the Gamaleya Institute cant get the same seal of approval.
