FULLY vaccinated Islanders can now travel to France without proof that they have tested negative for Covid, the country’s government has announced.
The new rules, which came into force on Saturday, come ahead of the school half-term holidays, which begin next week.
Previously, anyone travelling to France needed to show proof of a negative result from a PCR or antigen test taken up to 48 hours before departure. Anyone who is not classed by France as being fully vaccinated must have a ‘compelling reason’ for travel to the country.
Tourism is not included within these.
The requirement to wear masks in public places in France, such as restaurants, where a vaccine pass is required is due to be dropped on 28 February.
Mask-wearing will remain mandatory on transport and within public places where a vaccine pass is not required.
