The Peninsula
Doha: In its latest update to international travel rules, England has changed the red, amber, green country list to a single list of countries, simplifying visitors on vaccination status.
Jon Wilks CMG, British Ambassador to Qatar shared this update on his social media stating that England will recognise Qatar-administered vaccines starting from October 4. This means that most travellers from Qatar will no longer need to quarantine on arrival in England.
The UK Government travel guidance stated travel from October 4, 4am, from the rest of the world, if you have been fully vaccinated for at least 14 days with a full course of Oxford/AstraZeneca, Pfizer BioNTech, Moderna or Janssen vaccines from a relevant public health body in Australia, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Bahrain, Brunei, Canada, Dominica, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, Malaysia, New Zealand, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea or Taiwan – mixing between two-dose vaccines (Oxford/AstraZeneca, Pfizer BioNTech, Moderna) in this list is also recognised.
