LONDON, May 22 (Reuters) - Britain should not rule out the
idea of so-called air bridges with countries who have low
infection rates of COVID-19 in the future, interior minister
Priti Patel said on Friday.
The British government said it would bring in a 14-day
quarantine period for almost all international arrivals from
June 8.
Asked during the government's daily news conference about
the prospect of Britons being able to go on a summer holiday
abroad this year and whether air bridges could be part of the
solution, Patel said: "The foreign office advice is very clear,
nothing but essential travel."
"When it comes to air bridges ... we should be absolutely
open to all ideas, this is not for today but this doesn’t mean
we should rule this out in the future," she said.
