UK Arrivals MUST Produce Negative Covid-19 Test Before Re-Entry To England Is Allowed

January 8, 2021 //  by TAG

England has announced mandatory Covid-19 testing in order to bolster boarder measures. According to GOV.UK, international arrivals to the UK, including UK nationals, are required to present a negative Covid-19 test before departing for England which must have been taken up to 72 hours prior to departure. If passengers fail to comply with this new rule, they will be subject to an immediate fine of £500.

Grant Shapps, Transport Secretary, has announced that from next week inbound passengers arriving by boat, plane or train will have to take a test up to than 72 hours before departing the country they are in, to help protect against the new strains of coronavirus such as those seen in Denmark and South Africa.

As well as providing a negative Covid-19 test result, passengers arriving to the UK from all countries other than those on the government’s travel corridor list will still be required to self isolate for 10 days, regardless of their test result.

According to The Guardian, this new mandatory testing comes many moths after boarder restrictions were put into place in other countries which helped to bring their local transmissions to an end. It also comes with mounting pressure for higher control with fears over the South African variant of the Covid virus.

The testing rules will only officially apply to England, however it has been said that ministers are working closely with the devolved administrations on similar measure for Northern Ireland and Wales and the Scottish government has confirmed that it will adopt the same plan. Ireland is also expected to put a similar scheme in place this week but the rules will not apply to visitors from Ireland.

Test Assurance Group (TAG) have teamed up with Liverpool John Lennon Airport to offer Covid-19 PCR testing for passengers wishing to receive a ‘Fit to Fly’ certificate or for ‘Test to Release’ upon returning to the UK. The testing facility, based at the Airport, is open only to those who have not been experiencing symptoms of Covid-19 and a test date and time must be booked prior to arrival via the Test Assurance Group website.

The recent announcement of mandatory Covid testing before arrival in England shows the importance of airport testing to prove both ‘Fit-To-Fly’ and ‘Test-To-Release’.

If you require a PCR test to travel or upon arrival back in the UK for ‘Test to Release’, you can make a booking via our website now here. You will need to choose the date and time of your test to ensure it meets your travel requirements before making payment online. We highly recommend all customers check the Fit to Fly requirements with their country of final destination and with their tour operator or airline via the UK Government website prior to booking.
