Iceland is now allowing anyone double vaccinated in despite their origin.You can still catch it if vaccinated. You do know this don't you?
Thanks for this, very informative. I know everything is incredibly hard to predict but I find your posts really useful. Cheers.Last minute is gonna be the way forward this summer (or packages where you secure with a small deposit and don't have to pay the balance until close to departure date)
I'd hope that by September the 'green' options will be much more diverse than the slim pickings the government so kindly bestowed on us on Friday.
Obviously it can all change very quickly but the consensus seems to be Greek and Spanish islands will go green sooner rather than later, with Italy and Malta not far behind too.
It could be the back end of summer before we get Turkey and Cyprus though, as they both battle their respective waves and surges.
For those inclined to head further afield, Morocco, some Caribbean islands and possibly America might get the nod at various points over summer. Ditto Thailand.
UAE would likely be green were it not for it's strategic global position. Being such a global hub for all corners of the globe is usually such a good thing but it's really working against them now.
Cant think of a nicer place to kick off the 2021 holiday season than an overnighter in the Las Vegas of the North : /2 weeks in Crackpool it is then...
Nothing better than being sat on the Sea wall staring out at the black Sea eating Fish and Chip,fighting of psychotic Sea Guls,and the Kids saying Daddy what is that Man doing with a Syringe in his arm.
It’s a wonder you can get out of bed every day! Risk everywhere, both significant and insignificant.No, it’s your total musinderstanding of why.
Do you walk around worried about polio, too? Mumps? Measles?You can still catch it if vaccinated. You do know this don't you?
Very true. We have all been told the virus is easier to catch indoors and they allow a capacity crowd. I have no idea what tests were undergone by the spectators before they were allowed in but I would like to see the effect it had if any.Too bad you can’t all go on your hols to The Crucible, or maybe City can play Chelsea there?
After all, 980 people packed into an INDOOR ARENA for hours is so much safer than, say, 30-40-50% capacity OUTDOORS in a huge stadium, right?
BBC SPORT:
Snooker was the first sport to welcome back a capacity crowd last week as 980 fans attended the final day of the World Snooker Championship at the Crucible as part of the government's pilot scheme.

Forgive me but I’ll take my advice from scientific experts not an internet no mark.It’s a wonder you can get out of bed every day! Risk everywhere, both significant and insignificant.
FYI
Will the vaccine protect you?
The COVID-19 vaccine that you have had has been shown to reduce the chance of you suffering from COVID-19 disease. Each vaccine has been tested in more than 20,000 people and many have also been used in many different countries.
It may take a few weeks for your body to build up some protection from the vaccine. Like all medicines, no vaccine is completely effective, so you should continue to take recommended precautions to avoid infection. Some people may still get COVID-19 despite having a vaccination, but this should be less severe.
As in…not death!
It is death we are concerned with, right?
Not my worry. You guys enjoy your quarantine and stay safe!
Yep totally agree, the govt seem to be penalising people who want a break or completely misunderstanding travel & leisure.The fact this thread has had no comment since the announcement yesterday tells you everything you need to know about the announcement. No real change. Portugal and Malta and no where else that you would or could go.
Earliest for next batch is start of June.
Rumours (that have been right so far) is that end of June before usual European hot spots are green. 8 weeks’ to save your business all the travel companies.
Those people running hotels, restaurants, bars, boats, cleaners, cooks, waiters, guides are who I feel most for. Their livelihood depends on it and they have often had zero support from their governments.
