Travel: Quarantine

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how long his Department estimates the new international travel covid quarantine, enforcement and testing measures announced on 9 February will have to remain in force once the top nine vaccine priority groups have been vaccinated.

Answer

On 9 April the Global Travel Taskforce published its report setting out a framework for the safe return of international travel from 17 May at the earliest, including the introduction of a ‘traffic light’ system for England, with different requirements for travellers based on whether a country is categorised as red, amber or green. The system will be flexible and able to respond to changes in the level of risk. Measures will be formally reviewed on or before 28 June, 31 July and 1 October.
