11 March 2021. Can you believe it’s been a year since COVID-19 began to sweep the world? Our lives changed overnight. Travel plans cancelled, weddings put on hold, bars and pubs closed. The list of disruptions was endless and many of them continue today. So, what is the COVID-19 situation now? And when will international travel resume?
A lot has changed since March 2020. Thanks to incredible innovation and science, we have numerous effective vaccines, which are beginning to drive cases down. Countries such as Israel are beginning to lift restrictions, having vaccinated the majority of their populations. And there is clear evidence that in vaccinated groups, hospitalizations and thankfully, deaths, are plummeting.
In this article, we’ll try to summarize where we’re at with the virus. We’ll also try to outline what we believe is going to happen with travel over the coming months. It’s important to note that we are a UK-registered company, headquartered in London. So this may look somewhat alien to our friends and customers in places like Australia, where we are aware the restrictions are quite different! But for UK readers wondering if they can get away on holiday this year, and if so, where – read on!
Let’s start with the good news – vaccines
The vaccines have been nothing short of miraculous. From a standing start, organizations such as Oxford University and pharmaceutical giants such as Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, backed heavily by governments, have created vaccinations which alleviate much of the suffering caused by COVID-19. Studies in the UK have shown that COVID deaths in the over 80s have fallen by more than 60% since mid-January. This is because the over 80s were the first to be vaccinated and are just coming up to full protection. When vaccines are given to every adult, these death rates are expected to fall further. In fact, the seven day rolling average of COVID deaths in the UK has dropped dramatically. From 1,242 in the week commencing 25 January 2021, to 314 in the week commencing 01 March 2021. This is still high, but falling fast. Vaccines are the way back to a normal world.
Israel has vaccinated around 90% of its population and is rapidly easing restrictions. The government there has announced that vaccines have proven 98% effective in preventing breathing problems and fever, dramatically cutting the need for hospitalization. Logic determines that as more and more people are vaccinated around the world, death rates will continue to fall.
