On Monday (24 January), prime minister Boris Johnson confirmed vaccinated travellers returning to England will no longer have to take a test from 4am on 11 February.

Following an agreement at a cross-UK meeting, Scotland aligned with the move to remove its travel testing regime and said "further work" will be done on a new surveillance system to monitor its border.

Travellers will still need to fill in a passenger locator form and wear face coverings in Scottish airports.
