Hi everyone,

Firstly, thank you to all of you who have signed and shared this petition. We now have more than 6,000 signatures.

The UK Government announced today that from 2nd August at 4am, people from European countries will be able to come to England from an amber country without having to quarantine if they're fully vaccinated.

The Transport Secretary subsequently clarified to the BBC that tougher rules will continue to be in place for France, which is on the amber list but still requires travellers to quarantine when they return, even if they are fully vaccinated. Mr Shapps said this advice would be reviewed at "the end of next week" as part of the rolling assessment of travel rules.

This is obviously a very disappointing announcement that again does not make sense.

I will continue to engage with various officials and media outlets/journalists to lobby for this to change asap as these inconsistent and frankly ludicrous rules need to take into account the impact they have on all our lives.

Thanks again.

Olivier
