Travel Between New York City and London May Be Eased Up as Early as the Holidays

As part of the plan, travelers would likely be required to take a COVID-19 test both before their flight and after arrival. Reportedly, a quarantine would also be required, though the exact length hasn’t been determined. Some are supporting a 24-hour isolation period while others prefer a four- to seven-day quarantine.

The UK currently has travel corridors open with several countries in Europe and Asia that remove the self-isolation requirement for incoming passengers. That arrangement has proven difficult to replicate with the US so far, however, due to the country’s high rate of COVID-19 transmission. Currently, US travelers must isolate for 14 days after arriving in the UK.

The Wall Street Journal also mentions that US agencies are having similar talks with German officials.
