All remaining measures adopted due to the pandemic in the UK travel sector will be lifted at the end of the week, the British government has announced.
More specifically, Transport Secretary Grant Saps announced via Twitter that from 4am next Friday, anyone entering the UK will be allowed to travel to the UK. UK from abroad will not need any additional wording and will not be subject to any restrictions.
This means that passenger identification forms and diagnostic tests for travellers who are not fully vaccinated will be abolished.
"These changes are possible because of the administration of the vaccine and mean more freedom in time for Easter," Mr. Shaps noted.
The daily count of coronavirus outbreaks in the UK has been lower than in the previous year. UK today was 72,898, an increase of around 40% compared to last Monday, confirming the upward trend in the spread of the virus following the full lifting of domestic legal restrictions at the end of February.
