People travelling in England or Scotland will no longer be required to take Covid tests if they are fully vaccinated, according to a statement from the UK Ministry of Health.

The new policy will take effect on February 11, just in time for the half-term holiday, according to the statement.

Travel restrictions for those who have not been vaccinated have also been tightened. They won’t have to self-isolate anymore, but they’ll still need a pre-departure and day-two exam.

Regardless of whether or not they have been vaccinated, all visitors to England must complete a passenger location form.
