Travel: Quarantine

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make it his policy to allow people who have a medical exemption from being vaccinated against the covid-19 virus to be eligible for exemptions from traveller quarantine measures in line with the covid-19 travel rules that apply to double-vaccinated travellers.

Answer

The Department are working to ensure those who cannot have a vaccine or be tested for medical reasons are not disadvantaged. For the United Kingdom's inbound travel policy, the Government is exploring future policy options on travel for vaccinated UK residents, including making allowances for people exempt from vaccination and will set this information out in due course.
