EasyJet has used new research by the US-based Yale School of Public Health to show that “much of Europe” should be classified as green when the government announces the destination list in early May.
The airline has used the government’s published Covid policy on reopening international travel from 17 May to make this assessment on key European destinations.
This includes looking at the likely effect of the reopening travel on Covid hospitalisations in the UK, which easyJet estimates would only lead to a rise of less than 4% in UK hospital Covid admissions for travel to most European countries.
