I think it’s partially down to that we are a small mass island with a huge population crammed into it .. plus we apparently have ,comparatively speaking , a large % of elderly folk as well .

Next week a lot of schools are having a staggered return really we can say that 99% of pupils will be back in schools on 15th March so a crucial time will be two weeks or so after that date I’d say ..

Taken from the i paper

Any that try to leave for a Holiday before
May 17th be warned of big Fines.


[Would-be passengers will have to complete
a “declaration to travel” document from
https://www.gov.uk/
and produce a print or digital copy.

Failing to produce a completed
form will be an offence carrying a
fine of between £200 and £6,400.

Exemptions for travel abroad include
for education or work
.

Extra police officers have been stationed
at airports to police the tighter rules.]

If you can get there before the 17th of May rush
Cyprus will let any in their many Hotels.

And Cherie like you originally said
they are not asking for Covid Tests
but I think the Airline will



They are staying well ahead of Spain.

Netherlands: health minister de jonge: corona self test kits could be in the shops next month

Quote:
Fast coronavirus tests which don’t require medical supervision could be available in supermarkets and pharmacies by next month, health minister Hugo de Jonge said on Friday. Fast tests, which people can take themselves, could be used by employers, and at schools and universities to making working conditions safer, De Jonge is quoted as saying by broadcaster NOS. Currently fast tests can only be used under medical supervision but that clause should be removed from contracts, the minister said. This would enable manufacturers to apply to have their test authorities for self-testing. Testing is key to stamping out the virus and making tests simpler and easier to access has a key role in this, De Jonge said. ‘We can do this by taking the tests to the people, rather than people to the test,’ De Jonge said. ‘That is why we want to make it possible for manufacturers to make a self-test version of their fast tests.’ Trouw reported on Friday morning that millions of fast coronavirus tests remain unused in warehouses because the government wants to take a ‘careful’ approach to using them. The government has at least 26 million fast tests in stock but they won’t be used for months until the results of pilot projects have been assessed, the paper said.

I might not go abroad this year.
I think it might be better to wait next year.
Because Europe is really behind with vaccinations.
While here in the UK we're doing brilliantly.
So I might just go somewhere in the UK.
There are so many great places to visit here, like the Lake District or Cornwall.
