ARCHIVED - Great news for expats in Spain eager to see family as UK relaxes quarantine rules
Vaccinated travellers will not have to isolate when flying to the UK from amber list countries, including Spain, from Monday, August 2
The UK government has relaxed quarantine rules for travellers from amber list EU countries, including Spain, which means people who are fully vaccinated will not have to isolate on arrival in Britain - great news for thousands of expats desperate to see family and friends.
The change, which also applies to the US, will come into force at 4am (BST) on Monday, August 2, ending months of uncertainty and confusion for many.
At the moment, only those who have been vaccinated in England, Scotland and Wales are exempt from quarantine when travelling from amber list countries, but from next week, the scope has been widened to "help reunite family and friends whose loved ones live abroad", says the UK government.
"The changes will apply to fully vaccinated people with a European Medicines Agency (EMA) or US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved vaccine, but they will still need to do the usual pre-departure test before arrival and take a PCR test on day two of returning to England", explains Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, adding that the second dose or single Janssen jab must be administered 14 days before travel.
Under-18s will not have to isolate, and some will not have to test, depending on their age.
The relaxation of the quarantine rules, which does not apply to France, comes as a seven-day spell of falling infections in the UK was brought to an end with 27,734 cases reported on Wednesday, bringing the 7-day cumulative incidence rate to 377 per 100,000 inhabitants.
Meanwhile, the latest daily update published by Spain's Ministry of Health on Wednesday evening at last showed a drop, albeit a slight one, in the national 14-day incidence rate, with 27,149 new cases leading to a figure of 699 cases per 100,000 inhabitants (down two points from the day before).
