The UK has decided to remove all restrictions related to COVID-19 on entry to England.
British Transport Minister Grant Chaps announced on the 14th local time that all restrictions on entry to the country, including testing for COVID-19 for unvaccinated people, would be abolished from 4 am on the 18th, the BBC reported.
Accordingly, even if you have not received two doses of the vaccine, you will no longer be obligated to test for COVID-19 before and after entering the UK.
Transport Minister Shaks said this is a possible change thanks to the vaccine policy, which allowed for more freedom of movement during the Easter holidays in April.
The UK government is developing a contingency plan for the new mutation and is expected to announce it before the holidays.
In the UK, the number of new cases has been increasing recently.
In the past 7 days, a total of 444,000 new cases were confirmed, an increase of 48% compared to the previous 7 days.
The number of COVID-19 deaths increased by 2.1% during this period.
