UK PM says no international travel until mid-May at earliest

LONDON, Feb 22 (Reuters) - International travel from England
will be banned until May 17 at the earliest, Prime Minister
Boris Johnson announced on Monday, prolonging the pain for
airlines, airports and holiday companies.

In its roadmap for easing restrictions, the government
announced a review of travel which will report on April 12 with
recommendations about how international travel should resume,
while managing the risks of new variants of coronavirus.

"The government will determine when international travel
should resume, which will be no earlier than 17 May," it said in
its statement.

Britain is looking at a system of allowing vaccinated
individuals to travel more freely internationally, it added.
