Although the UK government announced that starting at 4 a.m. on November 22, the UK will recognize vaccines on the WHO's emergency use list of COVID-19 vaccines, including China's Kexing COVID-19 vaccine and China's Sinopharm's COVID-19 vaccine. However, it can be seen through the official website of the British government that as of today, the Chinese mainland has not been updated to the list of "countries/regions where vaccination certificates are issued" recognized by the United Kingdom, but the British government is likely to update this document before November 22. Once Chinese mainland are on the list, parents who plan to go to the UK for Christmas with their children will not need to quarantine when they arrive in the UK.
For parents who are still hesitant or ready to go to the UK to spend the Christmas season with their children, this is a very happy thing. Christmas in England last year did not go as planned, the bazaar was cancelled and the party was shelved. However, this winter, the Christmas carnival in the UK is back! Parents and students planning for Christmas in the UK can plan ahead. Yingdong Xiaobian specially collected and sorted out a Christmas guide for everyone's reference, let's take a look at it!
