The UK’s illogical quarantine rules must be changed | Letters

Readers urge the government to recognise overseas vaccinations - and spare travellers to the UK self-isolation

I am very ill and would like to see my sister, who lives in the US, while I still can. But the hurdles she faces to travel here are unfair, illogical and lacking in compassion.

From 19 July - freedom day" - the UK government will scrap its requirement for a 10-day quarantine for arrivals from amber list countries (Report, 8 July). It seems like good news. But there is a big catch. The UK will only accept vaccination certificates that have been given in the UK. This is plainly daft, as well as discriminatory. How can visitors from overseas be expected to have had vaccinations and vaccination certificates in the UK?
