Good Morning Britain's Dr Hilary Jones warns that return of Covid travel restrictions could disrupt summer holidays

Covid travel restrictions could return for several countries this summer, causing disruption to people's holidays, according to Good Morning Britain's resident GP Dr Hilary Jones. Over the last two years, the sudden introduction of restrictions has seen holidaymakers scramble back to the UK as quickly as possible.

As Covid cases surge around the world, Dr Hilary has warned that restrictions could return again and has advised people to take precautions, Wales Online reports. He said: "Other countries could equally say, I think there are large numbers of cases in Italy at the moment, they could say 'Right you're going to need a Covid pass, you're going to need proof of vaccination or recent infection or you're going to need a test before you travel.

"So I would say to people who are travelling, look at the foreign travel advice for that country, see if you need a test before you fly and see if your NHS Covid pass works." Dr Jones said some Covid measures also need to be taken here in the UK as cases rise.

He said: "We're still in a pandemic, but this is going to become endemic. We're going to have to live with this virus.

"So while I don't think we need mandatory precautions such as mask-wearing and other lockdowns, I think what we do want is hand sanitisation to be routine. And I think it's sensible to give people the advice to wear a mask on a crowded tube train."

Hospital cases with Covid are expected to rise further, according to a health chief. Dame Jenny Harries said it does not look as though the current wave has peaked, and urged people to “go about their normal lives” but in a “precautionary way”.
