Coronavirus Latest Updates: Greece is Shutting Down

[turkeyfoot]

Hi

Its reported that the SNP could scupper plans for air bridges as Sturgeon has suggested they would boycott the scheme.

This risks the scheme being a non starter as as the scheme is being agreed with other countries on a UK wide basis.
Apparently our Government is in talks with the Scotts.

We will run out of fingers to cross soon

Hi
Just been looking at BBC on line news.
Still seems to be no 100% clarity.
Did say that although we would allow travel to some countries it may not be reciprocal and we would have to quarantine on arrival
Said further announcements today

Hi

People arriving from more than 50 low risk  countries, including France, Spain, Italy and Germany will no longer need to quarantine.

All amber countries including France Germany Italy and Spain will have reciprocal arrangements in place.

Hi
Because Greece is not letting flights in yet from uk till the 15 July then Greece can decide if to scrap quarantine

But who knows it's changing all the time

Just say yes or no

Kev

If saying yes or no was only that easy mate !  Its far more complicated and I am still saying we won't be visiting , I would be amazed ......
The Greeks have got far too much to lose by letting us in with no quarantine after the sterling work they have done so far containing this.
Lets hope I am wrong , I usually am in fairness !

Hi
According to BBC at 15.30 Greece has been added to the safe list. Only England at present.
If Greece accept us it seems ok
The problem is if the government says we can go , but Greece says no , then it seems doubtful you can claim as the tour companies will say it's not our fault you can't go as the government has said you can

From what I heard today, some vehicles, coming off the Igoumentsa Ferry,  their drivers got fed up waiting in the queue for testing, and just drove off !! - That's all Corfu needs , right now.
