Britain says exact date on US travel reopening still not known

London: Britain's transport minister Grant Shapps said on Friday there was still no exact date for when the United States would open for travellers from the United Kingdom, beyond guidance of early November.

The lack of clarity on the U.S. opening is one of the final barriers remaining for UK travel after Shapps promised an announcement in the coming days on scrapping the requirement for expensive PCR tests for fully-vaccinated arrivals into England.

Asked on Sky News if he had a specific date for when the U.S. would allow Britons in, Shapps said: "I don't."
