Department for Transport written question – answered at on 21 July 2020.
Theresa Villiers
Conservative, Chipping Barnet
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Government is negotiating with Bulgaria to establish an air bridge to allow covid-19 quarantine free travel between Bulgaria and the UK.
Kelly Tolhurst
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Government has regular discussions with countries on a range of issues.
Our approach to travel corridors has been guided by the science and we have worked closely with health and policy experts from across government to ensure the steps we are taking will minimise the risk of importing COVID-19 cases, while helping to open our travel and tourism sector.
Although Bulgaria was not included in the travel corridors announced on 3 July, the Health Regulations relating to the self-isolation requirements remain under constant review. The next formal review will be on 27 July 2020.
