Fully Vaccinated U.S., EU Citizens Will Be Allowed Quarantine-Free Travel To England

Hopes raised that family and friends can finally meet up after months apart due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.

U.S. and European Union nationals who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will be able to travel to England without the need to quarantine, ministers have decided. The move, which will potentially allow family and friends to see each other for the first time in 18 months, was approved by the Covid-O operations committee of the cabinet Wednesday morning, sources confirmed to HuffPost UK. Under the plan, the UK government will formally recognize American vaccine certificates, including paper versions, as well as EU versions that confirm someone has had their full dose of the vaccine.
