There will be different requirements for tests when travellers return, depending on the country they have visited.
Those returning from countries not on the red list and if fully vaccinated, will have to order one “gold-standard” Day 2 PCR test to take within two days of arrival.
If returning ro the UK and not fully vaccinated, they will have to take a second PCR test on the eighth day while quarantining at home for ten days. There is the option to take an extra test after day five to secure early release. The tests must be taken, even by those who have been vaccinated.
Tests are mandatory for all arrivals to Britain. Some destinations may require proof of vaccinations. Travellers will be able to use the NHS app as a vaccine passport if they have had two doses, or can ask for a paper version by calling 119.
* US and EU vaccines applicable from 4am Monday 2nd August 2021. Please check the guidelines for the country you are travelling from.
