Will the Covid vaccine make the way for more holiday abroad?

Many people are wondered exactly when all restrictions on travel are likely to end. Even when other restrictions get lifted in this country, it is likely that travel restrictions will stick around for a bit longer and we obviously have no idea what the rules and regulations will be for other countries that we wish to visit. The government are keen to allow people to go on holiday again as soon as possible but they are concerned about other variants being bought in to the country.

At the moment there is a traffic light system in place for travel. Each country is assigned a colour depending on the risk – Red, Amber and Green. There are currently very few countries on the green list and this is also changing with some being removed that were previously ok to visit. The amber list requires you to isolate upon return and the red list should not be travelled to at all but if you do you will have to isolate in a quarantine hotel at a cost. The government are now looking at if they could allow travel to and from amber countries with no quarantine restrictions for those that have received both of their vaccinations. This is still in debate at the moment and there is a lot to consider.
