From today, fully vaccinated travellers heading to the UK no longer need to take a Covid-19 ‘pre-departure’ test before setting off.
Previously, a negative test was required, with those testing positive not being allowed to travel.
The change has triggered a surge in international travel bookings by holidaymakers who no longer have to worry about the prospect of testing positive and thus being marooned abroad and forced into quarantine at their own expense.
First announced on Tuesday for travellers to England, the change has now been adopted by Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
In addition, inbound travellers to the UK will no longer need to self-isolate on their return. They will still be required to take a Covid test on or before day 2 of their arrival in the UK, but from Sunday morning, it will be permissible to take a lateral flow test rather than a more expensive PCR test, again reducing expenditure.
