Fully vaccinated passengers from the US should be given the same quarantine exemptions as British citizens returning home in a bid to revive transatlantic trade, a group of business leaders have urged Boris Johnson.
Sky News has seen a letter signed by trade associations including the CBI, Make UK and the British Chambers of Commerce which expresses frustration at the continued challenge facing British businesses.by the government's recent approach to the COVID-19 crisis.
In their letter to Mr Johnson, the business groups said the government should add countries to the UK's green list - which does not require any period of quarantine - as soon as it was safe to do so.
The groups lamented the fact that the vaccine status of visitors from the EU and US"remains unrecognised, despite the fact that many of these passengers will have been given the same vaccines being administered here in the UK".
