Transport secretary, Grant Shapps, has confirmed that all remaining Covid-19 travel measures will be scrapped in the coming days. Currently, everyone travelling to the UK must complete a passenger locator form before they arrive.
Travellers who are not fully vaccinated have to take a Covid-19 test before departure, fill in the form and book and pay for a PCR test after arriving. It has been confirmed that these rules will end at 04:00 on Friday.
His announcement means that passengers who are not fully vaccinated will no longer have to take Covid-19 tests before and after travelling to the UK. The passenger locator form will no longer be necessary either. People planning an overseas trip will still need to be aware of other countries’ entry rules.
The Board of Airline Representatives in the UK (BAR UK) echoed the sentiments. The government has previously said it is working on contingency plans to deal with any new strains of the virus in future. These are expected to be revealed before the holidays in April.
