In an update on Thursday (24 June), Shapps said that “thanks to our successful vaccination programme” the government was planning to allow double-jabbed UK residents to avoid having to isolate at home after returning from amber destinations.
“We’ll set out further details next month,” he tweeted.
In a statement, the Department for Transport said it expected the policy “to occur in phases”, starting with UK residents, who will still be required to take a pre-departure test and a test on day two of their return.
