I seem to remember my old blue passport having a number of pages at the back detailing which vaccinations I had to have stamped to enter a specific country.

If another country - say Australia - mandates that all foreign persons entering that country show proof of vaccination, what do you do if you want to go?  If you are travelling abroad, then you have to respect the laws of this country - doubly so in the era of Covid. Many countries are signing up to forms of Covid certification, and visitors need to respect that, and to watch out for the very many "fake" certificates that this inevitably gives rise to. Our border officials have been seeing many fake certificates from people trying to enter our shores recently, so we need to be vigilant. If they are catching some, how many are good enough to escape detection?  I think we still need to be very careful who we allow into our country, and focus any remaining elements of the discredited "track and trace" on visitors, with regular testing. If not, we can expect more spikes and more variants.     Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Thirsty Relic   209 #4875 Posted April 29, 2021 As Covid can be passed from humans to cats (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-56821770) and many people around the word eat cats (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-39577557) can humans catch Covid from eating cats? If so, would it by-pass any vaccination, and could the cat-eater transmit it to other humans?

Yeah but last time I checked, South Korea and China aren't in the UK!  Also, your source was the BBC, they think Leeds is the centre of the Universe!  Edited April 29, 2021 by Mr Allen More detail.
