The Daily Telegraph is also reporting that US and EU residents who are fully jabbed will skip quarantine, under plans to be approved tomorrow. Apparently people may also be able to transit via red-list countries without having to quarantine in a hotel (article isn't clear if this is just hotel quarantine or quarantine altogether):
It follows a trial by Heathrow, BA and Virgin which found the practical difficulties of verifying the vaccination status of travellers was overcome in 99 per cent of cases amid concerns over the complexities of different US states' paper and digital certificates. The results have been submitted to the Government. Ministers are also expected to confirm that double vaccinated expats will be able to travel to the UK from amber countries without self-isolating. The current exemptions from quarantine for fully jabbed travellers from amber list countries only cover Britons who have been vaccinated by the NHS. Ministers will also consider plans to allow travellers who transit through red list country hubs including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Istanbul and Bahrain to avoid hotel quarantine provided they remain airside when they make their connections. At present, they are not exempt. |
The lead story on the BBC now:
Senior cabinet ministers are to discuss allowing fully vaccinated travellers from the EU and US to avoid quarantine when they arrive in England. A review of the rules is due by 31 July - the second date in the Department for Transport's plan for a safe return to international travel. Sources said the isolation exemption was likely to be discussed at the Covid Operations meeting on Wednesday. But they said a decision on whether to proceed will not necessarily be taken. |
I just got the results of my antibody test back, and the result is positive with a value of ≥2500 U/ml.
Looking at the Testing for all page CWS linked that seems like a good result (not that it matters!). |

I had my second jab of Moderna yesterday morning, and I'd seen some strong reactions from others around me, but holy moley! Shivers, fever, aches everywhere... Paracetamol didn't really work. I guess it's a sign that my immune system has kicked in, but I wasn't expecting to be down for 12 hours like that. Should I report something, or is that expected since the guide already says it'll happen in more than 1 in 10 people?

Will US and EU citizens who arrive, fully vaccinated, still need to take a PCR test after arrival? Or does this requirement apply to British citizens/residents only?

Just to note that I drove past a pharmacy in Heston and they were queuing around the block to get their jabs. Looked a mix of ages from about 40 years downwards but the overwhelming majority was 20-somethings.

The BBC report says this will come into effect on Monday (2nd Aug) at 4am.
Excellent news for those of us who live in Amber countries and would like to visit family. Understandably, the information on GOV.UK isn't yet updated to reflect the latest changes. Now... the next question is: what is the most convenient/cost-effective way of procuring the required PCR tests? I assume this aspect isn't changing from the current system? |
