EU ambassadors are expected to agree a plan on Wednesday (19 May) allowing fully vaccinated UK residents to visit European countries without having to take a Covid-19 test or face any sort of quarantine on arrival.

The move is part of the EU’s plan to introduce the same Covid entry requirements across all member states this summer.

Under the proposal, visitors from third countries, such as the UK, will be able to visit EU countries without a test or quarantine, provided their home country has low Covid infection rates, according to a report in The Telegraph.
