The prime minster promised to “work with the travel industry” to enable double-jabbed Brits to skip self-isolation – effectively opening up swathes of European holiday hotspots.

“Recognising the protection afforded by two doses of vaccine, we will work with the travel industry towards removing the need for fully vaccinated arrivals to isolate on return from an amber country,” said Johnson on Monday (5 July) in his latest Downing Street Briefing.

“The transport secretary will provide a further update later this week.”
