Details of 14-day quarantine measures for all UK arrivals are expected to be confirmed on Thursday (21 May), but the Daily Mail reports Boris Johnson’s official spokesman as saying air bridges were “an option under consideration, but not agreed government policy”.
Transport secretary Grant Shapps told parliament on Monday that measures would be in place by June and floated the idea of air bridges with quarantine-free arrangements between the UK and some countries.
However, extensive coverage in the national press has now led the government to play this down, with a promise only that arrangements would be reviewed “every three weeks”.
