Under current UK rules, arriving travellers from amber countries must be fully jabbed under the UK’s vaccination programme to avoid self-isolation – effectively forcing all non-UK travellers from amber countries to quarantine.
British Airways and Virgin Atlantic conducted a trial in which 250 fully vaccinated volunteers on flights from the US, Caribbean and Europe presented Covid-19 vaccination status in digital or paper format to officials.
Internationally recognised credentials including CDC cards, New York’s Excelsior Pass and the EU Digital Covid Credential were among those used by the 250 customers in the trial, alongside NHS certificates.
