According to a leaked memo to Border officials, seen by The Guardian, they are no longer required to routinely check for a passenger locator form or details of required Covid tests on days two and eight after arrival.
Even if the Border Force computer system cannot find a passenger’s form, officers no longer have to check for the form or question the traveller unless they are showing “warning or behavioural indicators to suggest non-compliance”.
The memo also details how eGates at airports will stop referring passengers to in-person checks by border staff if the passenger locator form is not found by the electronic system.
