Summer holidays abroad boost as BioNTech chief says Europe will reach herd immunity by August Nicholas Cecil
Hopes of foreign holidays for Britons this summer were raised today by a vaccines chief declaring that Europe will reach herd immunity possibly as early as July.
Ministers are expected to give the go-ahead for foreign travel from May 17. Countries will be categorised as green, amber or red, with varying levels of testing and quarantine required, based on their levels of Covid-19, vaccination roll-outs and ability to track variants.
Only a limited number of countries are expected to initially be classed as green, meaning people will not need to quarantine on their return to England.
