But the UK has a current rate at least 4-5 times (often much more) higher than our main holiday destinations.
I can understand flights from mainland Europe to SE Asia wanting to bypass Qatar/Dubai/Singapore but why would these destination countries want the risk of accepting UK visitors?
Our rate is falling, but not as fast as some people had expected.
These will be likely opened around 29th June by which time the rate SHOULD if the plan goes as it should have come much further down. Germany I believe will accept British visitors from June 14th I think with no quarantine, plus it depends if your looking at rate per 100,000 population of overall as our population is far bigger.
