We've published findings from our International Passenger Survey to understand attitudes towards #COVID19 among passengers arriving to the UK between Feb and June 2021 ow.ly/wOrt50FN5zj

Roughly two thirds of all UK (66%) and overseas residents (69%) interviewed said social distancing made them feel safe during their journey in June 2021.

This has remained broadly consistent since Feb 2021 ow.ly/tbfG50FN5C3

The majority of UK (69%) and overseas residents (75%) interviewed in June 2021 said the wearing of face coverings made them feel safe during their journey ow.ly/TUL050FN5IR

The number of UK residents arriving back to the UK who've been vaccinated has risen from 6% in Feb 2021 to 62% in June, broadly reflecting the UK's #COVID19 vaccine rollout.

Older UK & overseas residents interviewed were more likely to have had a vaccine ow.ly/sEsZ50FN5LO

The proportion of both UK residents and overseas residents in June 2021 (52% and 64% respectively) who said #COVID19 testing was very important for safety fell from the corresponding figures in May (64% and 73% respectively) ow.ly/BBqy50FN5RF

Most UK residents arriving in the UK found following overseas #COVID19 restrictions difficult or very difficult (80% in June), but conversely most overseas residents said that they understood UK COVID-19 restrictions either quite well or very well (96%) ow.ly/jtbn50FN5UR
