Last week we learned that over 60% of UK adults have been vaccinated with a second dose of the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine and the government announced a 4-week pause at Step 3. Step 3 restrictions remain in place. It is expected that England will move to Step 4 on 19 July, though the data will be reviewed after 2 weeks in case the risks have reduced. The government will continue to monitor the data and the move to Step 4 will be confirmed one week in advance.

The red, amber and green list rules for entering England have changed with Malta, Madeira and the Balearic Islands among the latest holiday destinations to be added to the government’s green list of countries. See below for further details.
