Great news as transport secretary says the chances of a holiday abroad this summer "look good"

There’s at last some good news for Britons today. Transport secretary Grant Shapps has said that the chances of a foreign holiday “look good” this summer. The existing NHS app which is used to book appointments and organise prescriptions will be used as a vaccine passport as it will display evidence that someone has received their vaccine.

Most European holiday destinations have announced that they will open themselves up to British holidaymakers. They will however require confirmation that the tourist has received a vaccine or in some cases provided a negative test result. The confirmation today that the NHS app will be used is a big step towards that and will allow people to comply with the rules of whichever country they visit. ​

In relation to summer holidays Shapps told Sky News “I have to say that so far the data does continue to look good from a UK perspective, notwithstanding those concerns about where people might be travelling to and making sure we’re protected from the disease being reimported.” This is great to hear for those who would rather travel abroad than engage in the over priced staycations being offered this summer.
