U.K. travelers may need to prove they’ve been vaccinated against Covid-19 to enter some countries, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said, confirming ministers are in talks with overseas counterparts on the issue.
While Hancock stressed the government isn’t planning to make inoculation a condition of entry to the U.K., other nations he didn’t identify are “actively” debating the measure. Officials are looking at how to provide the necessary certification to British travelers who need it, he told Sky News on Monday.
