Hello fellow diabetics,
We are booked to go on holiday to Greece in mid-August (holiday was booked before Covid in Jan).
The travel company are saying the holiday is going ahead.
As a diabetic I have not been self-isolating but I have been avoiding going out and seeing other people as per the government guidance.
Myself and my wife are not happy about going abroad as we feel this is a bigger risk than staying at home.
It also goes against the uk advice of trying to avoid other people.
I have contacted my Travel Insurance company about cancelling the holiday and they say I cannot claim against the insurance as quote "The FCO says there is no risk in travelling to Greece. No need to isolate on arrival or return."
I agree about the isolation but I don;t think there is "no risk" anywhere in the world.
There does not seem to be much advice on what we should do.
Thanks,
Mark
