Quarantine Exemption Deal Agreed For Premier League Players

Fully vaccinated players will be able to travel for international duty in red-list nations this month.

The British government and the Premier League agreed a deal that will allow fully vaccinated players to travel to red list countries for international duty without having to quarantine on their return to the UK.

The agreement was reached after assurances were given that players would be in Covid-secure ‘bubbles’ with their national teams and on return to their clubs. Restrictions on transport, close contacts and strong testing protocols will also be put in effect.

Arrivals from red-list countries, even those who are double vaccinated, are usually required to quarantine for 10 days in a Government-approved hotel.
