The prime minister has once again been urged to relax Covid testing for travel rules after first Sajid Javid and then Boris Johnson on Tuesday (14 September) failed to deliver the reforms the industry had been hoping for.
Health secretary Javid told the Commons a further update on the UK’s travel rules would follow from transport secretary Grant Shapps by 1 October, while Johnson declined to offer any further thoughts on the travel landscape at a Downing Street Covid briefing later in the day.
Javid, though, did hint the government’s likely course of action would be to ease the Day 2 PCR test requirement for fully vaccinated arrivals into the UK.
