Good news spains opening up mid may

[MichaelT]

You can leave the UK for certain reasons.

but not holidays

 

[MichaelT]

Does anyone remember last summer? We had been locked down in the spring but were encouraged to eat out, travel to work and get back to normal.. Even without any vaccine or really knowing what the best treatment was.

Big big difference this summer is we have the vaccines. And treatment has improved. We'll be back to (almost) normal by summer

And today the number of infections was up on last week and more Brazillian variant cases found so don't hold your breath cos if everyone does not still follow the rules lockdown will continue.

but not holidays

No,

But We do need to get to our house in Spain to prepare for rentals soon.

I also have some legal and banking mattes that can only be carried out in-person

Fingers crossed im hoping for France in August. But peoples lives and infections more important so lets see.

not so sure about france opening up

France has relaxed the need for UK residents to have a 'compelling reason to travel' and the necessary decree will be issued tomorrow. IIRC, France reported some 30,303 COVID infections yesterday and there are extra weekend curfews starting in Pas de Calais, plus Nice, where the local lockdown has caused the Paris to Nice Cycle Race to finish away from Nice!

Portugal has today announced an extension to its national lockdown until the end of March, but is expected to publish its plans for a phased reopening of its economy shortly.

Fingers crossed that the European travel permissions can be implemented without further interuption, such as Denmark & Norway suspending Astra Zeneca inoculations because of clotting risks.

0h, poo, it didn't work.

Doris Day, Google it

The late, great, Ray Moore used to have some lovely expressions to brighten up his Radio 2 early morning show, regularly referring to his advancing years, such as 'Doris Day? I knew her before she was a virgin ...'

NHS England only.
Not available in the other nations of the U.K.
Get it from your App Store on your phone.

NHS Scotland has 'Patient Access' App for booking GP Appointments, ordering repeat prescriptions, some hospital minor treatments clinics etc; and 'Test & Protect' App for COVID Track & Trace. To the best of my knowledge, there isn't [yet?] a facility to have medical history transferred to your phone, but an App may well be under development for a COVID inoculation certificate or passport. The possibility of needing such a document has been known about for a wee while, so background, low key development work ought to have started.

Lot of speculation on this thread, all in one day.

I wonder how much of it if any will survive reality till the end of March never mind Mid-May.

Tomorrow decree has to pass

 

[Purple2]

Just seen an article that France is allowing travel from UK, although at the moment still need a test 72 hrs before. This all ties in with being allowed to travel in May by Boris.
We cannot wait to set off, though we take the view that its all well and good us having the two jabs we should have as much vaccine cover that is available by being jabbed. We do not want to go anywhere where there are still restrictions in being visitors. So yes the Med countries will want the tourists but until their countries jab program is well under way I cannot see general tourist activity without restrictions being allowed.
We therefor have come to the conclusion that it will not be back to any degree of normality until at least July/August, so its September for us

Is it the only way they can achieve unification?

Not being picky. Is that website you have posted up Exactly as spelled.
I ask because our practice uses an almost identically spelled website but ours seems to be spelled wrongly and its a devil to get right.
In ours, the word 'system' within the address is spelled wrong, the 'e' is missing.

There will be no "normality" again, at least not for a very long time, good news about places opening up, but will a lot of holidaymakers behave how they should with a pandemic??, somehow i doubt it, if they did there wouldn't be the need for as many restrictions on travel.
