With the vaccine roll out gathering pace and infections falling in response to the latest lockdown measures, many of us are feeling optimistic enough to start tentatively considering travel plans for later in the year.
But, despite the progress being made to distribute vaccines across the population, chief medical officers are still urging caution, warning that it’s likely that restrictions will remain for some time.
As guidance around quarantine for returning travellers continues to evolve, it’s likely that Covid-19 testing will remain an important tool to help manage infections as borders begin to open up, as well as helping reduce self-isolation times under the government Test to Release scheme.
While a lot is still uncertain about what travel will look like in the coming year, it’s worth baring a few things in mind to help manage expectations and plan for how changes to travel might impact you.
