The nice weather in the UK this week may turn our thoughts to long sun-drenched holidays this summer. Thanks to the introduction of the Covid Recovery Certificate, travel has just got easier and that sun lounger feels just a little bit closer. Whether you are visiting family who you haven’t seen for many months, or just relaxing on a sun lounger somewhere, travel has certainly opened up again.

Along with the relaxation of required tests , many countries are accepting a Covid Recovery Certificate as a condition of entry.

What is a Covid Recovery Certificate?

A Covid Recovery Certificate proves that you have had, and recovered from Covid in the previous 6 months. As you may know it is possible to have a positive PCR test long after the symptoms of Covid have gone. So, the signed certificate states that you are

• free from symptoms, and
• have completed the necessary isolation period.

Which countries accept Covid Recovery Certificates?
