The findings of the Global Travel Taskforce were originally due to be announced on 12 April but, in his latest coronavirus briefing, Boris Johnson said the key points of the plan would be revealed a week earlier. “I’d read much positivity into the fact we’re going to get one overseas travel announcement on 5 April and then greater detail on the 12,” he said. “You don’t announce bad news twice.” It follows the news that a new four-tier travel traffic light system has been proposed to the government by Heathrow Airport.
