Quarantine lifted when returning from Amber List countries to UK, from Monday 19th July
The UK Secretary of State for Transport, Grant Shapps, has tweeted that from 4am on Monday 19th July, those returning to UK from Amber List countries (e.g. Spain) will no longer have to do the 10 day quarantine.
Making a statement on international travel in the Commons, the transport secretary said those who have received two jabs and those aged under 18 will no longer have to self-isolate for 10 days after their return to the UK - but will still have to take a PCR test on their second day back.
"They will still be required to take a test three days before returning, the pre-departure test, demonstrating they're negative before they travel, and a PCR test on or before day two, but they will no longer be required to take a day eight test."
** WE ARE AWAITING CONFIRMATION ON WHETHER THIS APPLIES TO ALL OF UK OR JUST ENGLAND - IT IS NOT CLEAR **
** It also seems that this only applies to British residents travelling to Spain and back. Not to Spanish residents travelling to the UK........ ??♀️? **
AS ALWAYS there is contrasting information from politicians. We await confirmation.
Once we have more information we will post. ☺️
