LONDON, June 21 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris
Johnson said on Monday that travellers would face hassle and
delays this year if they sought to go abroad because the
priority would be keeping the country safe from the coronavirus.
"I want to stress that this is going to be, whatever
happens, a difficult year for travel: there will be hassle,
there will be delays, I'm afraid, because the priority has got
to be to keep the country safe and to stop the virus coming back
in," Johnson said.
Asked if the government was looking at easing the rules for
those who have been double-vaccinated, Johnson said: "We're
looking at it but I want to stress that the emphasis is going to
be on making sure that we can protect the country from the virus
coming back in."
