In an effort to reopen safely during the Covid-19 pandemic, countries are teaming up to create 'travel bubbles'

... [+]For weeks now, Australia and New Zealand have been talking about forming a travel bubble. China is considering allowing Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea in its bubble, while Israel is in bubble talk with Greece and Cyprus. Three Baltic countries just created the first European travel bubble, and now authorities at London’s Heathrow Airport have recommended that Britain get its own travel bubble.

All around the world, as countries decide how to restart international travel amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the idea of a travel bubble — sometimes called a travel corridor — is gaining steam. The notion is simple: Two or more countries that have successfully curtailed COVID-19 agree to create a bubble. People who live inside the bubble could then travel freely and avoid a mandatory self-quarantine requirement. Such a move would cut red tape so people can cross borders with minimum hassle.

Last week, three European countries — Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania — opened their borders to each other to create a Baltic bubble. Lithuania's Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis said in a statement that this was “an opportunity for businesses to reopen, and a glimmer of hope for the people that life is getting back to normal.” Other travelers — even fellow Europeans — arriving from outside the bubble still must self-isolate for 14 days.

Start 'travel bubbles' for low-risk countries, Heathrow urges UK governmentBritain should set up 'travel bubbles' with low-risk countries to allow the movement of people, instead of bringing in new coronavirus quarantine rules when flights restart, according to Heathrow Airport. Do they consider the UK to be a low risk country? So the plan is to connect a high risk country, UK, with a low risk country. Sounds like sarcasm. But will those countries see us as low risk?

Patients petition health groups to revise COVID-19 recovery guidelinesPatients who've endured ongoing COVID-19 symptoms are working to raise awareness of the long-lasting effects of the illness by petitioning public health groups. Such a misleading headline. The media is so desperate to keep a pandemic going and use scary misleading headlines as clickbait. Pathetic. ChrisCuomo since your x-rays showed no permanent damage. I wonder if you're going to lie about ongoing issues? Like you lied about leaving quarintine before the end of the 14 days?
