The UK government said on Friday that it will soon announce a plan to allow double-vaccinated foreigners and British expatriates entry to the country as it lifts most coronavirus curbs.
Many scientists are worried that the government's plan to lift most curbs in England on July 19, and the green light to a large presence at Sunday's European Championship final final, will seed new outbreaks of Covid-19.
The government further announced on Thursday that from July 19, fully vaccinated UK residents and children will no longer have to quarantine on their return to England. The announcement makes summer travel easier to some of Britons' favourite holiday destinations.
