Britain working on allowing holidays for vaccinated Britons

Tue, 22nd Jun 2021 07:08

LONDON, June 22 (Reuters) - Britain is working on plans to
open up travel for the fully vaccinated and restore other
freedoms but they are not ready yet, Health Minister Matt
Hancock said on Tuesday.

"We're working on plans to essentially allow the vaccine to
bring back some of the freedoms that have had to be restricted
to keep people safe," Hancock told Sky News.

Asked whether people could expect to have a family holiday,
Hancock said: "We'll get there when it's safe to do so... but of
course we do want to get those freedoms back."

"When I'm in a position to be able to say something more
concrete, then we will do, but it is absolutely something we're
working on, it's something I want to see," he added.
