WASHINGTON (Reuters). On Monday the US State Department issued its highest warning against travel to the United Kingdom because of a rising number of COVID-19 cases in that country.
The U.S. State Department and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) both issued the highest warning level - "Level Four" - for the UK, warning against travel to the country because of a rising number of COVID-19 cases.
"If you must travel to the United Kingdom, make sure you are fully vaccinated before travel," the CDC said in an advisory, while the State Department said: "Do not travel to the United Kingdom due to COVID-19."
Britain allows American visits but requires a 10-day quarantine on arrival and two COVID-19 tests.
U.S. and airline officials do not expect the restrictions on UK travellers to be lifted until August at the earliest - and warn it could be pushed back further.
