Vaccinated people arriving in England from most \u2018<span class=\"s2\">amber list\u2019 countries<\/span>, those with moderately high transmission, have been required to self-isolate \u2014 unless they received their shots in Britain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Shapps added, on Twitter, that vaccinated travelers will still need to take a \u201cpre-departure test before arrival and take a PCR test on day 2 of returning to the England.\u201d He also stated that international cruises will be restarting and \u201cflexible testing programs to help key workers and drive our economic recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The decision didn\u2019t come without political pushback, however. \u201cI am very concerned about the government\u2019s announcement via the press this morning,\u201d Labour Party deputy leader Angela Rayner&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/news.sky.com\/story\/covid-19-airlines-put-pressure-on-ministers-to-scrap-quarantine-for-fully-vaccinated-arrivals-from-eu-and-us-12365826\"><span class=\"s3\">told Sky News<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe need to make sure that we have got a proper data-driven analysis and that we look at an international passport for vaccines. \u2026 We also know that people who have had the vaccine of course can still get the virus, so a testing regime is very important and crucial as well,\u201d Rayner said, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2021\/07\/28\/coronavirus-latest-updates\/\"><span class=\"s1\">The Washington Post<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The move comes after the United States has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/u-s-to-continue-international-travel-restrictions\"><span class=\"s1\">prolonged travel restrictions<\/span><\/a> and extended some land border closures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/administration\/564852-us-to-maintain-travel-restrictions-due-to-delta-variant?rl=1\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;by The Hill, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Monday, \u201cWe will maintain existing travel restrictions at this point for a few reasons. The more transmissible Delta variant is spreading both here and around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cDriven by the Delta variant, cases are rising here at home, particularly among those who are unvaccinated, and appear likely to continue in the weeks ahead,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe CDC just advised Americans against travel to the United Kingdom this past Monday given the surge in cases.
