The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson confirmed speaking to a parliamentary committee that the report of the Working Group on International Leisure Travel will be submitted on April 5, one week earlier than originally planned.
Mr Johnson noted that the earliest possible date for the resumption of holiday travel abroad remains May 17. "The hope is that people will be able to move again on May 17, to the third step as I have shown on the roadmap (to lift the restrictions)," he said.
He said, however, once again that this also depends on the situation that will prevail in other countries. "We will see it depending on how things are going," Johnson said.
However, he noted that the estimates of government scientific advisers that it is "extremely unlikely" that the British will go on holiday abroad this year is not currently a government policy.
The British Prime Minister also confirmed the information that London is considering the possibility of imposing stricter restrictions on arrivals from France, due to the outbreak of the South African coronavirus case there. He noted, however, that the disruption of the food and medicine supply chain, which is largely through the Channel, must also be taken into account.
Asked about the possibility of banning the export of coronavirus vaccines from the EU, Mr Johnson warned against such a move.
"I would just say politely to anyone who thinks of a ban or supply chain shutdown that companies might look at such actions and draw conclusions about whether or not it makes sense to make future investments in countries where such arbitrary bans are imposed," Boris replied. Johnson.
