Health secretary Matt Hancock on Tuesday (9 February) confirmed a range of new measures to guard against the import of new Covid-19 variants.
Besides the existing pre-departure testing requirement, all those travelling to the country will have to take tests on the second and eighth day of their 10-day self-isolation period – whether they are in hotel quarantine or home quarantine – bringing the total number of negative tests required to enter the UK and re-enter society up to three.
