The Health Secretary under recently publicly bombarded PM Boris Johnson has warily stated that summer holidays that go outside the UK will ‘not be possible this year’.
This is after a 14-day quarantine for all international arrivals into Britian. The Health Secretary made his intentions clear on This Morning on ITV, as some companies were known to formulate trip packages for Britons to go out of the Isles. When being asked if holiday planners should scrap their plans, Secretary Hancock said: ‘I think that’s likely to be the case. It is unlikely that big, lavish international holidays are going to be possible for this summer. I just think that’s a reality of life. ‘It is clear that we will seek to reopen some hospitality from early July if we reduce the spread. But social distancing is going to continue. I think it is unlikely big lavish summer holidays will be possible this year’.
