All Restrictions Will Be Lifted At Midnight

[KARL]

All domestic restrictions will be lifted at midnight. Border restrictions will remain although as of 1st July PCR tests will no longer be required for those arriving with a certificate either for double vaccination (single in the case of Janssen) or else for having had Covid 19 - children (15 or younger) are all exempt from restrictions/tests. The above applies to all nationals. Separate rules apply to those who do not have the certificates mentioned.

No, that's not in the United Kingdom but when would you guess the United Kingdom will make a similar announcement (see above) to that just made by one of the UK's neighbours ?

I think restrictions are due to be lifted around 19th July. I dont know if you have access to ik news where you are, but I dont think anythings been said yet about separate rules for people who don't have completed vac

Sadly, I know more than I need to know about the UK's situation. My question is when might people guess the UK will emerge from this mess - a month, a year, ever ? No need to respond if the question is uncomfortable.

[KARL]

A lot of restrictions will remain within the UK after 19th July, only the most onerous will hopefully be lifted then.

How do you know? Are you one of the decision makers? If you already know it all why are you asking us? We can only guess

[KARL]

bednobs, My understanding of the public statements is that what will happen on 19.7.21 is a reduction in restrictions, not a complete lifting across the spectrum including social distancing, face masks, etc. Maybe this is a case of the familiar lack of clarity causing confusion. In any case, all I was doing was to invite guesses as to when literally all restrictions will disappear.

I'm unsure how my, or anyone else's guesses would be useful in a News discussion.

News: One country has apparently "reached the other side" so it is possible. Is there hope or is there none ?

Sorry I asked.

Ed, please delete this thread.

From the sound of things it could only just be beginning once more in parts of Russia. Im not throwing my mask and sanitiser out yet.

It would be helpful to know just which this 'mystery' country is.

[bednobs]

i presume iceland. good for them.

[Mamyalynne]

You're right.

“ My understanding of the public statements is that what will happen on 19.7.21 is a reduction in restrictions, not a complete lifting across the spectrum including social distancing”

It is a complete lifting of legislation, as a matter of fact.

Of course the travel aspect means that no country is in control of the situation.
