BRITS may have to show a vaccine passport to go to a pub or restaurant Dominic Raab suggested today. Proposals to introduce documents to let immunised Brits lead a normal life are “under consideration” he said. But this is the first time a Cabinet minister has broken cover to say that businesses in the UK could use them to let in or bar punters. He told LBC: “It is something that hasn’t been ruled out and is something under consideration. “But of course you have got to make it workable. “The thing, when I have looked at this – whether it is on the international, domestic or local level – you have to be confident the document being presented is something you can rely on. “That it is an accurate reflection of the status of the individual. “I am not sure there is a fool proof answer in the way it is sometimes presented. But we will look at all the options.” Whitehall officials have been drawing up plans to use vaccine passports to let Brits jet off abroad … [Read more...] about Brits may have to show a Covid vaccine passport to go to pub or restaurant

Antigua and Barbuda is the latest Caribbean hotspot to open its doors to 'digital nomads'. The island destination has launched a new visa specifically aimed for remote workers, meaning you can do your job while living on its islands for up to two years. Oh, and did we mention the offer is open to solo travellers, couples and even families? The 'Nomad Residence' visa allows remote workers to come and live on the island and enjoy the same benefits as residents, while still working for a company back home. So basically, you could do your job as usual, then spend your weekends making the most of those picture-perfect beaches, crystalline waters and brilliant restaurants. Oh, and for those who don't fancy lazing on a beach all day, there's heaps to do including the walking trails and historic sites to explore, not to mention a wide array of watersports and diving opportunities. Prime Minister Gaston Browne said in a statement that "you can work in any part of the world from … [Read more...] about Antigua and Barbuda wants remote workers to come and do their jobs from its beaches

Care homes can refuse to hire staff who won't accept the coronavirus vaccine, the Justice Secretary confirmed today. Robert Buckland said providers were legally allowed to make vaccination a condition of employment as long as they could provide a 'clear rationale'. He added the Government would not enforce 'no jab, no job' policies on care home workers, but added that it would not prevent employers blocking future contracts for those who refuse the vaccine. All care home staff staff and residents have been offered their first jab, yet more than a quarter (28.5 per cent) have refused to take it. Uptake is worst in London, where only 54.8 per cent of eligible staff in older care homes have had a jab. Vaccine hesitancy among black, Asian and minority ethnic groups, who make up a large proportion of care staff, is believed to be behind the poorer uptake, particularly in the capital. Care home residents are most vulnerable to Covid because their of age and frailty, … [Read more...] about Care homes can refuse to hire staff or renew contracts of workers who won’t accept the vaccine, Justice Secretary confirms

A single dose of the Pfizer /BioNTech coronavirus vaccine may block 75 per cent of symptomless infections, a study on NHS workers has suggested. Asymptomatic screening of staff at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge showed the number of people testing positive fell from 0.8 per cent to 0.2 per cent 12 days after their injection. The 'very impressive' findings are another sign that the UK's gamble to delay the second dose in a bid to get wider coverage quicker has paid off. Curbing symptomless infections is crucial to stopping outbreaks from growing unknowingly because people who do not feel ill are less likely to self-isolate. Numerous studies had indicated that a single injection of the Pfizer jab prevented severe illness and death but to what degree it blocked asymptomatic spread was unclear. Research has also suggested Oxford University's jab stops more than 60 per cent of asymptomatic cases. The study, led by Cambridge University, analysed thousands of weekly Covid … [Read more...] about Single dose of Pfizer’s Covid vaccine blocks three-quarters of symptomless infections, study on NHS staff finds
