    @Fire I assume you've read this site.  

    “Entry to USA

    It is not possible for most British nationals to enter the USA if they have been in the UK, Ireland, Schengen zone, Iran, Brazil, China, South Africa or India within the previous 14 days. The US Government announced on 15 October that it would lift travel restrictions starting from 8 November for foreign citizens who are fully vaccinated with any Covid-19 vaccine approved for emergency use by the World Health Organisation or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).”


    I'm sorry, but I don't know anyone who has traveled from the UK recently.  Good luck, and I am sorry for the reason you need to travel.  Surely they allow for such circumstances?

    Thanks @Blue Onion

    A practical question here - I'm a bit puzzled about the regulations about UK citizens travelling to the US at the moment. The restrictions seem to state that nobody can go "Do Not Travel due to Covid-19" - not even to change planes. But I know various familes that have had a holiday in the US this summer.

    This is not a cue for an argument - I'm just wondering about the state of play now. A family member is dying and I was investigating restrictions for me and others to travel to the US.

    Thanks
    My daughter-in-law flew to the US yesterday, but as far as I am able to tell, the only reason she is allowed to do this is because she is an American citizen, although resident in the UK. I am sorry if I am right about this, but I believe I am.

    @Fire, I've just seen this from Time Out. If BA are doing a promo from 8 November, I guess that means you could travel from then? I realise that might be too long.

    Yikes, just read that Bath & North East Somerset has suddenly got the worse rates in the country - better be extra careful then.

    Makes a change from Doncaster being COVID-central I suppose :(. Be careful out there!

    Cornwall had the highest rate so far,  seems Bath has taken over,   Is it because of the intake of university students this month?

    It would be interesting to know how the rates are affected by how many people report symptoms. If your symptoms are tolerable, and you can't afford to take time off work, you are less likely to get a test.

    I sometimes wonder if the reported figures are just the tip of the iceberg.
