News that Day 2 tests for fully vaccinated arrivals will be scrapped, likely in time for February half-term, has been warmly welcomed by travel – but some have warned the industry has some way to go yet before travel returns to normal.
During a hospital visit on Monday (24 January), prime minister Boris Johnson told reporters people arriving into England would no longer have to take tests if they have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 with two jabs.
More details are expected from transport secretary Grant Shapps on Monday afternoon (24 January), while The Telegraph reports the change will take effect from 4am on 11 February. Half-term runs from 14-18 February.
