UK's strict travel measures will depend on vaccine success, Hancock says

Britain’s strict travel measures could stay in place until the government can be sure that vaccines work against new variants of the coronavirus, or booster shots have been given later this year, health minister Matt Hancock said Tuesday. That would deal a further blow to stricken airlines and travel companies, which are counting on a travel recovery this summer to help them survive after months without revenues due to lockdown holiday bans. Asked how long new border measures would be in place, Hancock said that more information was needed on the success of the vaccines.<br/>
