PEOPLE from the US and EU – except France – who have been double vaccinated will be able to travel to Scotland without quarantining from Monday.

The Scottish Government's announcement follows UK Transport Secretary Grant Shapps announcing the same changes for England.

The need for travellers to self-isolate for 10 days upon arrival in Scotland is being waived subject to countries covered remaining on the amber travel list.

Travellers will need to show a negative test prior to departure and produce a negative PCR test result on day two after arrival.

The need to take a further PCR test on day eight is being dropped.

The same rules will not be adopted in Wales, where Labour first minister Mark Drakeford said: “"We would rather have a more precautionary approach from the UK Government, given they are making decisions we probably wouldn't make for ourselves.”
