We have received many questions and comments about last week's announcement that those UK Nationals who have been double-vaccinated by the NHS will, from 19 July, be able to return from amber-list countries without the need to quarantine on their return. This is good news for anyone coming to visit you here in Spain, but we recognise the disappointment that this exemption does not apply to you. The government is taking a phased approach to amending requirements and is already exploring plans to remove quarantine for vaccinated non-UK residents arriving from amber countries later this summer, when it is safe to do so. We will update you as soon as we have further news on this. Meanwhile, you have the option of travelling to the UK and doing quarantine or using the Test to Release scheme (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-test-to-release-for-international-travel) to shorten your quarantine period. If you have been vaccinated here in Spain we recommend getting the EU COVID digital certificate, which will be useful for travel within the EU https://www.vacunacovid.gob.es/preguntas-y-respuestas/que-es-el-certificado-covid-digital-ue-como-funciona.
