The British government has abolished post-immigration virus testing for those who have been vaccinated, saying that the number of people infected with the new coronavirus has decreased and the number of severely ill people has been relatively reduced.


Pre-immigration testing was already abolished last month, which has almost eliminated border measures for vaccinated people.

In the UK, there were days when the number of newly infected people exceeded 200,000 a day, but it has been declining recently, and in recent days it has been in the 50,000 to 60,000 range.



The British government said on the 11th that the number of severely ill people was relatively low, and on the 11th, it abolished the virus test that was required after entering England for those who had finished vaccination.



The pre-immigration inspection was already abolished last month, and it is necessary to continue to fill in the vaccination status and travel history and submit it online before immigration, but for those who have completed vaccination, most of the border measures are taken. died.



A welcome voice was heard from people living in the UK about this, and a woman in her 40s said, "I think it's good for the economy. I want to book a vacation trip and go to Greece." ..



Also, a man in his twenties said, "It's good that everything goes back to what it was before Corona, and I want to travel to a warmer country. However, the new Corona itself still exists, so to get immunity. We need to get more vaccinations. "

Welcome voice from the citizens

Helen Bassa, a self-employed person who often travels abroad for work and family trips, welcomes the almost abolition of border measures.



She lives in Derbyshire, central England, and says that traveling abroad with her three children has cost a lot of money to test for viruses before and after entering the country.



In addition, the test results may not come out as planned, so he felt inconvenienced because he had to redo the test at the airport just before departure and was asked to wait at home until the test result came out after returning to Japan. ..



For this reason, the inspection before entering Japan was abolished last month, and the inspection after entering Japan is no longer required from the 11th, which makes it easier to travel and travel.



Mr. Bassa, who has already completed his third vaccination, said that he will be visiting France for business trips and travels this month and next month. "I think many people are very cautious about flying, but again. It's really wonderful to be able to see the world. "



In the UK, as of the 9th of this month, about 65% of people over the age of 12 have completed booster vaccination, and regulations including border measures are being abolished.

Welcome voice from the tourism industry

In England, which accounts for the majority of the UK's population, the tourism industry has welcomed the fact that border measures have almost disappeared for those who have been vaccinated.



David Child, a spokeswoman for a travel agency, said about the situation in the travel industry so far: "Regulations for immigration change almost every week, so that customers can understand the regulations and make travel plans. Was very difficult. "



On the other hand, since the deregulation was announced, travel reservations have been made one after another, which is three times more than the same period last year.



"The deregulation was great news and made me think that it's time to travel. I'm happy that all I need is a vaccination certificate and a passport to travel relatively freely. I welcomed you.



He also said, "Many people are planning a trip that is a little inspiring because the same situation as before Corona can be expected for this summer's long vacation, and 80% of the reserved guests are 4 stars or 5 stars. I'm booking a hotel. "
