Will two jabs be my passport?
QAARE the reports earlier this week correct that rules will be changed so people who have been doublevaccinated will not have to quarantine when they return from amber-list countries? It would be fantastic, as we are thinking of going to Majorca. Barry Jones, via email. This is just speculation, based on government leaks. But, as European countries including Germany, France, spain and Greece are introducing similar policies for fully vaccinated
travellers, the pressure is growing not to fall behind in the race to reopen travel and tourism. Changes are unlikely before August.
Q I HEARD that there is a new quarantine for British visitors
to Italy. Is this correct?
AJanet Smith, York. YEs. italy has introduced a mandatory five-day quarantine for visitors from Britain starting on Monday. it was announced yesterday.
Q
CAN I fly to Miami, Florida, next week?
Joan Watson, via email. A
NO. Only a few British visitors are currently allowed there,
such as diplomats. see America’s entry requirements
at gov.uk.
Q
WHY are the Cayman Islands not on the green list? There have been no Covid cases there for about nine months.
Janet and Jim Jordan, via email.
A As GOvErNMENT criteria for ‘green list’ countries are not known, it is impossible to say. Last October, the Cayman islands began a phased reopening of its borders, allowing entry only to Caymanians, work permit holders and those with close family (like yourselves), with a 14-day quarantine. see visitcaymanislands.com.
Q
WE BOOKED a holiday villa in Majorca for July 10. We plan to go and self-isolate on our return. How do we find out where to book a government-approved PCR test prior to returning? Can the Passenger Locator Form be completed by hand? Our villa will not have the internet.
Garry Stevens, Pewsey, Wiltshire. A FOr government-approved tests, see ‘Private providers of Covid-19 testing: what you need to know’ at gov.uk.
Passenger Locator Forms must be completed online, so you will need to find a wi-fi hotspot or
internet café.
Q CAN you please suggest good areas in the UK for night-time star/planet-gazing?
Graham Jenkins, via email. A
ThE international Dark-sky Association (dark-sky.org) has
a handy online map. The Dales and Brecon Beacons feature on it.
