England: Keine Quarantänepflicht mehr für Geimpfte aus EU

Vollständig geimpfte EU-Bürger müssen bald in England nach der Einreise nicht mehr in Quarantäne gehen.

*Boris Johnson returning to No. 10 from quarantine*

„Wir helfen Menschen, die in den USA oder europäischen Ländern leben, sich mit ihren Familien und Freunden im Vereinigten Königreich wiederzuvereinigen“, schrieb der britische Verkehrsminister Grant Shapps auf Twitter.

Ab dem 2. August müssten Ankommende aus Ländern auf der „gelben Liste“ nicht mehr in Quarantäne gehen, wenn sie vollständig geimpft seien. Vor der Einreise und an Tag zwei nach der Einreise sind weiterhin Tests fällig.

In England gilt bisher für ausländische Reisende aus Ländern von der „gelben Liste“ – auf der auch Österreich steht – eine strikte Quarantänepflicht. Ankommende müssen sich für mindestens fünf Tage isolieren, auch wenn sie vollständig geimpft sind.

Da die CoV-Politik im Vereinigten Königreich Ländersache ist, werden die Regeln zunächst nur für England gelten. Schottland, Wales und Nordirland könnten jedoch folgen. Für Ankommende aus Ländern auf der „roten Liste“, der höchsten Risikokategorie, werden voraussichtlich keine Lockerungen gelten. Sie müssen sich weiterhin auf eigene Kosten für zehn Tage in Hotelquarantäne begeben.

Freedom Day Announced From Isolation

Prime Minister Boris Johnson had to self-isolate after his health secretary had tested positive for coronavirus, and therefore he made his “Freedom Day” statement via “Zoom or Teams or something else”. And his message on lifting the Covid-19 restrictions was a very contradictory one, as he appeared to be saying: I’ve given you back your freedoms – but for pity’s sake, please don’t use them.

The Telegraph: Boris Johnson drops carrot and picks stick

Furthermore the Prime Minister said that nightclubs and other venues with large crowds are set to be legally forced to adopt Covid passports from the end of September in a bid to drive up vaccine uptake among younger people. By the end of September everybody over 18 should have had the chance to get fully vaccinated, according to the Prime Minister.

In a reversal of his previous stance, Boris Johnson has become convinced that such virus status checks should be legally mandated for clubs and maybe also for sports venues. This would most likely be done by showing the NHS app, which is being updated to show proof of status.

WHU Kit 2021/22 On Sale

Inspired by the shirt worn by Paolo Di Canio & Co. at the turn of the Millennium, the Claret and Blue Kit will grace the Premier League and Europe in 2021/22, as David Moyes’ men get set for their first-ever UEFA Europa League group campaign.

It was this kit which Di Canio wore when he scored his iconic volley against Wimbledon on 26 March 2000. The goal was voted the best ever scored at the Boleyn Ground.

West Ham United won 2-1 and played with: Forrest, Lomas, R.Ferdinand, Stimac, Minto, Sinclair, Foe, Lampard, Moncur (Keller 90), Di Canio (1 goal), Kanoute (1 goal).

Masks remain compulsory on public transport in London

This is a reasonable decision made by London mayor Sadiq Khan and Transport for London:

The mayor has asked Transport for London to retain the requirement for passengers to wear a face covering on all TfL services when the national regulations change in England by 19 July 2021.

“By keeping face masks mandatory we will give Londoners and visitors the reassurance and confidence to make the most of what our city has to offer, while also protecting our heroic transport workers and those who may be vulnerable and rely on the network to get around our city,” the London mayor said.

Officials said TfL enforcement officers patrolling London’s transport network, under the conditions of carriage requirement, will be able to refuse entry to people not wearing masks and who are not exempt, and would also be able to ask people to leave services for failure to comply with the requirement.

We‘ll be back stronger

According to Premier Christianity website, Saka wrote to his old junior school, Edward Betham Church of England Primary School, about the role faith plays in his life.

In his letter, Saka said he prays to God before every game and understands how his faith is tested each match.

Saka said: “My faith is constantly being exercised when I’m put in different situations or I play in big football matches such as my England debut.”

Football Was Almost Home

“Football was almost home,” The Telegraph put it after England’s defeat in the European final. With 23 minutes to go in normal time, it was almost home. In extra-time when Raheem Sterling appeared to be through on goal only to be halted by the wall that is Giorgio Chiellini, it was almost home. In the penalty shoot-out when Jordan Pickford saved from Andrea Belotti, it was almost home. And then it was gone. It was taken away.

Mistakes were made. Unfortunately and undoubtedly that was true. As against Croatia in that semi-final three years ago England scored early, scored the quickest goal every scored in a European Championship Final, but ceded control and were eventually pushed back and overpowered as Italy claimed a deserved equalising goal.

England has emphatically won the first-half, catching Italy out with a three-man back-line and wing-backs, but afterwards Southgate was out-manoeuvred by Roberto Mancini in the second.

The boys of 66 remain on their own. The boys of 21 – and some such as Saka and Sancho are no older than that number – were so close to joining them and must go again. It wasn’t to be this time. Football was only almost home.

But next year this young team will get an other chance at the World Cup. Now is not the time to stop believing.

I remember Bayern Munich under the tenure of Jupp Heynckes, 2011/12 and 2012/13: They lost their “Finale dahoam” on penalties, but were even stronger the next season and won the Champions League Final 2013 at Wembley!

Now is not the time to stop believing.
