The U.K. will end Covid-19 testing requirements for fully vaccinated inbound adult travelers and for all inbound travelers under age 18 beginning Feb. 11.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“The framework set out today is intended to be one that will last,” the U.K. Department for Transport said in a statement Monday. “It aims to provide stability for travelers and the travel industry throughout 2022, ensuring the U.K. remains one of the best places in the world to do business.”<\/p>\n
The change will end the country’s current policy, under which vaccinated travelers must take a Covid-19 test within two days of arrival.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The U.K. will also ease restrictions for unvaccinated inbound adult travelers by ending the mandatory 10-day self-isolation period. Instead, beginning Feb. 11, unvaccinated adults can avoid quarantine by showing a negative Covid-19 test prior to departure to the U.K. and by taking a PCR test within two days of arrival.<\/p>\n
Only individuals whose results come back positive from the day 2 test will have to isolate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
