Speaking at a government Covid briefing shortly after the industry gathered outside Westminister for Travel Day of Action on Wednesday (23 June), Zahawi said the government’s Travel Taskforce would continue work with other countries to unlock travel.
Pressed on the issue of vaccine certification by Helia Ebrahimi from Channel 4 News, who asked the minister if the government would use vaccine passes to open up travel, Zahawi said both vaccination and testing would be key to proving Covid status for travel.
