COVID-19: Holidaying Abroad Will Mean A £5k Fine Under New Coronavirus Laws Set To Come In Next Week

Attempting to take a holiday abroad will result in a £5,000 fine under new coronavirus laws.

The legislation covering COVID-19 restrictions includes a ban on leaving the UK without a reasonable excuse - with the hefty fine for those breaking the rule.

 

The new rules will also mean protests will be considered a permitted exception to the ban on mass gatherings.

 

MPs will vote on the laws - officially titled the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Steps) (England) Regulations 2021 - on Thursday.

 

If approved they would come into effect next Monday - 29 March.
