Under the new rule, only fully vaccinated EU and US arrivals will be allowed to day 2 test and will not quarantine unless they have a positive test result.
Yes. if you have had both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine under the NHS Vaccination programme, or those under 18 years. Before returning to the UK, take a PCR test locally and order day 2 Covid-19 test within 48 hours of departure but no longer need a day 8 test.
France is an exception, those returning to the UK still need to purchase day 2 and day 8 mandatory tests and quarantine for 10 days because of concerns about the Beta variant
Fully vaccinated travellers from the EU/EFTA and the US can purchase Day 2 test to travel to the England without having to quarantine on entering England. The arrivals will not have to take a day 8 test or self-isolate. Any positive results from the day 2 test will be genome sequenced to continue to manage the risk from importing variants. A full vaccination means 14 days have passed since your final dose of the vaccine programme.
The vaccines need to be, for the US, FDA approved. For the EU/EFTA, the vaccines must be EMA approved, or Swiss equivalent.
Children under the age of 18 who are ordinarily resident in the qualifying countries will not have to isolate when arriving in England. Children aged 5 to 10 will only need to do a day 2 PCR and 11 to 18 year olds will need to take both a pre-departure test and a day 2 PCR – as is the case for arrivals from green list countries. Children aged 4 and under will continue to be exempt from any travel testing
