England to relax quarantine for vaccinated US, EU visitors

The UK government is set to allow visitors from the U.S. and the European Union to travel to England without needing to quarantine on arrival if they have been fully vaccinated.

The plan will allow American visitors, along with travelers from most EU countries, to enter the U.K. on the same basis as Britons who have received two Covid shots. U.K. residents are are no longer required to self-isolate when returning from most medium-risk countries. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his senior team are due to discuss and finalize details of the policy at a meeting Wednesday, people familiar with the matter said. The change in policy could come into force as soon as next week, they added.
