Wait ‘two or three weeks’ to book foreign holidays, Grant Shapps says
The government has confirmed that summer holidays abroad can go ahead from England.
“International travel could resume from 17 May at the earliest in an accessible and affordable way,” the government said as it published its second Global Travel Taskforce report.
All travel will be subject to a traffic light system, in which countries are classified as green, amber or red. Only travellers from green nations will be exempt from quarantine, although they will still need to present a rapid antigen test on arrival and take a PCR test on day two.
Countries will be assigned a colour in early May, the government said.
