LONDON (UK) – Britain will unveil its plan for air bridges later this week, said Business Secretary Alok Sharma on Wednesday. This will enable people to go on holiday to certain countries without having to remain in quarantine when they return.
“Work is ongoing in terms of air bridges and I hope later this week we can set out some of those lower risk countries, where when people return from these particular countries, they will not be faced with quarantine,” the BBC quoted Sharma as saying.
However, he refused to give a direct answer whether or not the job retention scheme would be extended.
“The key thing to get businesses up and running is to open up the economy and that is what we are doing,” said Sharma.
