Following the success of the booster programme, the government has reduced the number of travel restrictions.
From 4am on 11 February, all testing measures for eligible fully vaccinated travellers arriving in the UK will be removed.
Arrivals who are not recognised as fully vaccinated will only need to take a pre-departure test and a PCR test on or before day 2 after they arrive in the UK. All passengers will still need to complete a Passenger Locator Form (PLF).
Children aged 12-15 in England will be able to prove their vaccination status or proof of prior infection via a digital NHS COVID PASS from 3 February for outbound travel.
This simplification of travel rules aims to provide stability for travellers and the travel industry throughout 2022. I know that this will be welcome news to many.
