As the first passengers flew abroad on Monday after the lifting of the government’s foreign travel ban, the Daily Telegraph’s splash reports that British tourists are shortly set to be given the “green light” by the EU to use vaccine passports to travel to Europe. The paper says that EU ambassadors are set to approve a plan on Wednesday that would allow fully vaccinated Britons to fly to popular hotspots such as France, Italy and Spain, without having to take a Covid test or quarantine. But it points that whilst the plan would see the EU accept passengers based on their vaccination status, the UK “confers no such status” on those who have had the jab, and still requires testing or quarantine for all returning holidaymakers.
