England to Eliminate Covid Testing for Vaccinated Travelers

England will end Covid-19 testing requirements for fully vaccinated inbound adult travelers and for all inbound travelers under age 18 beginning February 11 at 4:00 a.m. Passengers entering England who are fully vaccinated will no longer be required to book a Day-2 arrivals test.

Passengers who are not fully vaccinated will continue to be required to take a pre-departure test as well as a Day-2 PCR test, however the requirement for a Day-8 PCR test is also being removed from February 11th.  

All passengers will still be required to complete a Passenger Locator Form (PLF) prior to their arrival in England.

The U.K. will also ease restrictions for unvaccinated inbound adult travelers by ending the mandatory 10-day self-isolation period. Instead, beginning Feb. 11, unvaccinated adults can avoid quarantine by showing a negative Covid-19 test prior to departure to the U.K. and by taking a PCR test within two days of arrival.
