Chile has said it will open its main border crossing and main airport to foreign visitors on Monday for the first time in eight months.

Newcomers to the country will need to provide evidence of a recent negative test in order to visit, as well as medical insurance.

President Sebastien Piñera said Sunday that people should take precautions to prevent another wave of coronavirus, urging people not to be “careless.”

News that ministers are backing the introduction of “limited additional household bubbling” to allow a small number of family and friends to gather over Christmas for a limited number of days has been widely shared on social media.

Brits have taken to social media to voice their opinions and questions about the idea, which could see a temporary amnesty from social mixing restrictions during the festive period.

Foreign Minister Rishi Sunak emphasized early Sunday that it will not be a “normal” Christmas, suggesting that people will still have to follow social distancing rules to limit the spread of Covid-19.

Some people have welcomed the idea of ​​allowing homes to form festive bubbles, while others have raised questions about why the bubbles cannot last beyond the Christmas period.

Many expressed concern that the virus could still spread if people are allowed to gather, leading to a third wave of Covid-19 and more lockdowns.

A large number of people were disappointed that the government did not take the opportunity to call the bubbles “trinkets,” a waste of a good pun.

Boris Johnson is expected to address parliament on Monday with the proposals, but No. 10 has yet to confirm how many days the Christmas pardon could last or how many households will be able to bubble.
