All passengers are required to present a negative PCR COVID test taken within 72 hours of travel. Please carefully check the COVID-19 test requirements to ensure that your test results show all required information. Your test provider will be able to assist, and it helps to ask them for this information in advance.

 

The United Kingdom is taking steps to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

1) To protect your health and others’, everyone must complete an online Passenger Locator Form before arrival in the United Kingdom.

2) You may be required to self-isolate for 10 days on arrival. Check the exempt countries list immediately before you travel as this list can change at short notice. Currently, you are required to self-isolate when arriving in the UK from France, Belgium & the Netherlands. 

3) It is a legal requirement that you wear a face covering on public transport in the UK.

4) If you are required to self-isolate, you may be able to shorten the self-isolation period by opting into a test to release scheme depending on which part of the UK you are in. For further information and a list of providers please visit https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-test-to-release-for-international-travel. 

Failure to comply with the above measures is a criminal offence and you could be fined.
