The United Kingdom announced on Monday, November 8, that the World Health Organization (WHO) will approve vaccines from November 22. As a result, vaccines from Sinovac, Sinoform Beijing and Kovacin will be added to the list of internationally accepted vaccines for travelers.
According to government information, fully vaccinated travelers – from one of more than 135 recognized countries – are not required to take the Covit-19 test before departure, or on the eighth day or so for the isolation test. However, passengers must pay for the test by the end of the second day after arrival.
The UK recognizes the following vaccines: Pfizer BioNTech, Oxford AstraZeneca (including Covishield), Moderna, Janssen (J&J) and WHO approved vaccine list; Including Sinovac, Sinoform Beijing and Kovacsin.
According to UK Transport Secretary Grand Shops, the move marks the resumption of international travel. “As we continue to recover from the epidemic and expand the recognition of vaccines, today’s announcements mark the next step in resuming international travel.”
But Shops warned that the government could reconsider resuming such a trip if necessary. “We will not hesitate to take action by adding countries to the red list if necessary,” he added.
As of Monday, there were 57 deaths and 32,322 Govt-19 cases reported in the UK, according to the latest government panel data. This represents a 16.6% drop in infections last week, while an increase of 8.2% in deaths.
