Saying: <em>&#8220;We want to offer the same reciprocity as the 33 countries that recognise our [NHS] app, and that will also happen very soon.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Ministers are expected to announce changes to Covid quarantine for Brits abroad, before 31 July, during a review of the rules regarding international travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>[penci_button link=&#8221;tel:+442084777118&#8243; icon=&#8221;&#8221; icon_position=&#8221;left&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; full=&#8221;1&#8243; text_color=&#8221;white&#8221; background=&#8221;#006666&#8243; text_hover_color=&#8221;white&#8221; hover_bgcolor=&#8221;gray&#8221; target=&#8221;_blank&#8221;]<strong>Let an expert help you!<\/strong>[\/penci_button]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Britons who have been fully vaccinated abroad will soon be able to travel to the UK easily as the government makes preparations to recognise jabs administered abroad and ease covid quarantine.
