Boris Johnson told parliament on Wednesday (19 January): “We are certainly reviewing the testing arrangements for travel.” He said health secretary Sajid Javid would clarify the situation soon.
Johnson was answering a question from former prime minister Theresa May, who reminded Johnson he had made no mention of travel in his statement on Covid restrictions today.
“Many of my constituents work in the aviation sector," said May. "I welcome the announcement he has made about Plan B restrictions today, but I note he made no reference to the tests that are still required for people coming into England.
