Transport secretary Grant Shapps announced on Monday (14 March) that all rules still in place for travellers would be stood down from 4am on Friday.
“These changes are possible due to our vaccine roll-out and mean greater freedom in time for Easter,” Shapps tweeted on Monday afternoon.
Passengers entering the UK will no longer need to take a Covid test or fill out a PLF, the Department for Transport confirmed, adding that the UK’s remaining hotel quarantine capacity will be shut down the end of March.
The change in testing rules removes the need for unvaccinated passengers to take a pre-departure test and a Day 2 post-arrival test.
