Last week, the government revealed plans to change policy later this summer to allow travellers who have received both doses of a vaccine to be exempted from the current 10-day quarantine on return from amber countries.
But Shapps would not give a timetable for the implementation of this change when pressed by MPs in the House of Commons on Tuesday (29 June), citing “complexities” such as whether children will be vaccinated or not. An update on the policy is expected in July.
