There are currently no plans for foreign fans visiting Britain for Euro 2020 games to be exempt from travel restrictions, meaning those coming from countries on the Government’s “Amber List” will have to quarantine for 10 days. The Mail has the story.
Tournament Director Martin Kallen revealed on Friday that talks between UEFA and the Government were ongoing to allow those key matches to be attended by foreign spectators without the need for a lengthy quarantine period.
But a Government spokesperson said: “Overseas ticket holders will be able to watch Euro 2020 matches at Wembley but will be subject to travel restrictions and requirements in England and at their place of origin, including testing and quarantining. There are no plans to change travel exemptions for ticket holders.
“We continue to work very closely with the FA and UEFA to support a fantastic Euros and to communicate the latest travel guidance to fans. We will keep this under review over the course of the tournament.”
Wembley will host the semi-finals and the final along with two last-16 matches.
The U.K. has the toughest entry requirements of any of the host countries, requiring visitors from Amber List countries to quarantine for 10 days on arrival.
Travel between the other host nations – particularly other European Union countries – is largely possible with proof of a recent negative PCR test.
Kallen said: “We are in a dialogue with the Government, we are looking at what’s possible.
“The Prime Minister and the British Government said June 21st would be the date when in principle everything should go back to normal. And if it goes back to normal, what will the rules say for foreigners to come to the U.K. who are not on a business trip?
“We are in a dialogue and we hope that we can achieve something if the situation allows it, that something could happen on that side.” …
Government sources had previously said it was unlikely that the current restrictions will be eased at any stage of the tournament with the country at such a decisive stage of its unlocking programme.

Oh look, they misspelled ‘drivel’
Sorry, but I’m getting sick of this nonsense now. How many people will not have been offered two doses of the “vaccine” poison by the time of the final? Do the government not believe they work? If so, they should tell us so, and that we’ll have to lock down forever (or whatever pointless gestures they propose) and call an immediate general election and put their plans to the people. Messing up people’s lives (and killing quite a lot of old people and children) is after all quite a big deal, you know.
“If the situation allows it”. You mean if the government allows it. Sorry, but I just don’t find the situation in South Dakota, let alone Florida or Texas, that scary. And if we’re to go the Hellbourne route, I fear quite a lot of people will decide life is not that worth living anyway.
Gulag Britain, for fricks sake don’t come, like us, you may never escape!
So no chance of taking part in the oh so convenient trial of daily tests that applies to Michael Gove?
Got was flagged by the app.
There’s no legal requirement to isolate after the app tells you to.
I think you’re legally required to isolate if you are called by T&T people.
From today, people in England will be required by law to self-isolate if they test positive or are contacted by NHS Test and Trace.

I’m so sick of this bullshit now. By every scientific measure the “pandemic” was over at least four months ago – some even say last year – and we now have an endemic virus. This virus will mutate towards the common cold and there is f*ck all any politician or SAGE member can do about it. Just like they haven’t been able to do anything about it so far (apart from sticking Covid patients in old people’s homes of course).
I’m getting unbelievably pissed off with the amount of pseudoscience on display.
Masks – pseudoscience
Social distancing – pseudoscience
Lockdowns – pseudoscience
Not being allowed to hold granny’s dying hand in a hospital – pseudoscience
Arbitrary quarantines – pseudoscience
Essential vs non-essential physical businesses – pseudoscience
“Vaccinating” anyone under the age of 75 or maybe even 80, where there might conceivably be an ounce of benefit (although highly doubtful) – pseudoscience
This seriously feels like Galileo versus the Inquisition.
4 months ago? there was never a pandemic only a bunch of idiots around the world shitting themselves due to a media panic, with the Chinese fanning the flames, that in turn convinced the spineless idiots in power they “needed to do something”.
You’re absolutely right. Every one of the central narrative points about this virus is a LIE. No exceptions.
“Asymptomatic transmission” is so rare, even within the intimacy of a shared household, that it can be disregarded.
Not watching the bread & circuses this summer, past caring.
I assume that all those attending the G7 summit in Cornwall and their entourages from ‘amber’ countries will be subject to the same rules and those from ‘red’ countries not allowed in at all!!
No, thought not.
