Pre-departure travel Covid-19 scrapped in England.
Boris Johnson has confirmed that pre-departure travel Covid-19 tests to enter England from overseas will be scrapped from 04:00 on Friday.
The prime minister also added the requirement to self-isolate on arrival in England until receiving a negative PCR test result will also be lifted.
Instead people can take a lateral flow test on day two – and if it is positive a further PCR test will be needed to identify any new variants, plus isolation as normal.
