The government currently requires British and other citizens arriving into England from most countries to take a lateral flow test for Covid-19 within two days.
The UK government is set to drop compulsory coronavirus tests for those arriving in England, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Monday, as he continues to lift curbs amid declining infections.
The government currently requires British and other citizens arriving into England from most countries to take a lateral flow test for Covid-19 within two days.
Johnson, who last week announced the easing of almost all domestic restrictions after several weeks of falling case rates, noted the change would only apply to fully vaccinated individuals.
"To show that this country is open for business, open for travellers, you will see changes so that people arriving no longer have to take tests if they've been vaccinated," he told reporters on a hospital visit.
