The announcement is expected to provide a lasting solution to the disruption that COVID-19 has caused to tourism and business in the United Kingdom
Following the success of vaccination and booster programmes, the United Kingdom has decided to lift all restrictions for eligible vaccinated individuals. The new policy will come into effect from 4 a.m., February 11.
“We made the right calls at the right time and thanks to our vaccine and booster rollout it’s paying off — allowing us to safely remove nearly all travel restrictions for vaccinated travellers. This final step in our stale and safe full return to international travel is a major boost for U.K. tourism, setting Britain free ahead of the crucial half term and spring holiday season,” said Transport Secretary Grant Shapps.
