LONDON, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Britain will scrap tough COVID-19
quarantine travel rules for 47 destinations including South
Africa on Monday and said it would recognise the vaccine status
of arrivals from more countries in the latest easing of
restrictions.
Transport minister Grant Shapps said on Thursday that
travellers arriving in England from 37 countries and territories
would also face fewer entry requirements as their vaccine status
will be recognised, including arrivals from India, Turkey and
Ghana.
"The measures announced today mark the next step as we
continue to open up travel and provide stability for passengers
and industry while remaining on track to keep travel open for
good," he said on Twitter.
