I know that it's getting late, but that statement on Sky need is factually correct isn't it?
It does not matter what the infection rate was 8 weeks ago. It's the current rate that matters. It seems that many Med destinations have decided that, balancing the risk to their tourist economy vs the health of their residents, they can accept visitors from those places which now have consistently low rate of new cases. The UK is not such a place at present and unless things suddenly improve, won't be for longer than we would wish.
