UK introduces new travel rules to combat Omicron Covid variant – BBC News

Travellers heading to the UK will now have to take a Covid test before their departure in an effort to limit spread of the virus, the government has said.

Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the tightened requirements would come into force from 04:00 GMT on Tuesday.

Everyone aged 12 and over will be required to take a pre-departure test a maximum of 48 hours before leaving.

Currently people only need to self-isolate until they test negative within two days of arriving.

  1. I want to share for shortness of breath chest and back pain and arrhythmia and fatigue, insomnia. I was more than a year thinking I had anxiety or heart problems
    I took some home remedies and natural tranquilizers.but nothing happened.
    Only when I drank the juice of a plant called saião.
    Skirt and the solution to clean the bronchi.

  2. God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). If you ask the Holy Spirit for help daily, He will help us to obey the commands of Christ Jesus! Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, & murderers, & immoral persons & sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone…" Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus & put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus and remain in a genuine relationship with HIm daily? Please abide and remain in Him!

  3. The UK government is STUPID. I want to travel and spend my $ in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I’m not going waste it in testing and mandatory quarantine hotel room. Britts, tell your government to stop the BS. Covid has a 99% recovery rate. Financial loss and subsequent suicide has a 100% death rate.

  4. You should put restriction rules on your people, before they come into New Zealand they need to be tested before departure, we had one of your own a DJ who did not follow the rules in MIQ..

  5. Pre departure tests are creating uncertainty about our standards.It seems awkward to set in necessary process,vaccination is enough.Omicron is just like dust,Pakistan has no issues with any country and as a quick learner is getting bold steps for humanity

  6. I'm gonna enter to the UK from NL . Even if I checked the government website, still confusing. Does anyone know it is okay that I test with self antigen kit with video to enter the UK? Of course I prepared a locater form with day 2 Kit

  7. Hi,

    I’m sure you’ve heard about us, and I doubt it’s been very nice things. We are the ‘anti vaxxers’, we are the ‘conspiracy theorists that you were warned about. We are the ‘dangerous’ and ‘unhinged’ and the ‘mentally unstable. We are the ‘uneducated’ and the ones spreading ‘misinformation’.

    First of all, if you’ve found yourself reading this after the recent announcement, I’m sure you’re feeling an array of emotions. You’ll be angry, upset, disappointed and possibly even scared. I mean, the chances are, you’ve had 2, maybe even 3 vaccines and yet you’re still being told you have to wear a mask, social distance and another lockdown hasn’t been ruled out (unfortunately, a lockdown is defo coming). Since March 2020, you’ve socially distanced, you’ve worked from home, you haven’t seen your friends and family, you’ve possibly missed out on life-changing events like visiting a terminally ill family member in hospital, cancelling a wedding, having to miss a funeral or being unable to go and visit relatives.

    You may have missed out on nearly 2 years worth of memories – grandchildren are now that bit older, elderly family members have passed away, your important family events have been and gone.

    I’m sure your mental health hasn’t been too great either. You’ve probably been feeling very vulnerable, scared and lonely – after all, you’re protecting yourself and others from a virus that you believe is killing millions of people. You hate wearing a mask but you don’t want to pass C** onto a vulnerable person, so you suck it up and you continue to wear it.

    You had your first vaccine, despite still having to isolate when your work colleagues test positive and still having to wear a mask. It made you feel very unwell, you may have had flu-like symptoms but hey, you were doing it for all of us. Then you got your second vaccine which made you feel worse, but you needed it so you could go on holiday this last summer – then what happened? They implemented a travel ban. You spent a year and a half obeying rules and doing exactly what you were told to gain your freedom back, only to be told you STILL had no more rights than the unvaccinated. In fact, you were told it was the unvaccinated who was prolonging this nightmare. The sooner everyone gets vaccinated, the quicker we can return to normal.

    Let’s skip a few more months and another variant has come to fruition – this one apparently may avoid the vaccines that you thought were protecting you – if you or anyone you know comes into contact with it, you still have to isolate, despite being vaccinated. The media are pushing this one hard – this is more deadly, more transmissible and more feared than any other variant before. Just as you thought things were getting back to normal, it’s like Groundhog Day.

    So, here we are 21 months in and you’re now starting to question things. We now have more positive cases per day than this time last year, yet tens of millions are vaccinated? And how dare your own government have a large Christmas party whilst YOU stuck to the rules. YOU weren’t able to see family. YOU weren’t able to go to see your parents in the care homes. YOU weren’t able to get your needed treatment in the hospital. YOU weren’t able to live your life and YOU was the one suffering the negative effects of THEIR rules.

    The thing is, 21 months ago, we predicted all of this. It’s not because we are ‘conspiracy theorists’ but because we have researched our government, we have analysed them, we KNOW them and we know their plans. I promise you that your compliance is only going to prolong this. You may think that we are crazy and selfish for not getting vaccinated, but what the media and the government want, is us divided.

    Part 2

    For what it’s worth, I don’t think you’re a sheep, I don’t think you’re asleep, I don’t blame you for being compliant… but I am sorry. I’m sorry that you’ve blindly put trust and faith in a government that has let you downtime and time again. I’m sorry that you did exactly what you believed would be best and nothing has changed. I’m sorry that you did all of this selflessly because you wanted to keep others safe and you wanted your life back. I’m sorry that you were lied to.

    I don’t want their divisive techniques to work anymore. I’m asking you to stand with us and say NO to any more rules, any more lockdowns and any more ridiculous mandates. This is not about saving lives, this is not about keeping people safe and it is not about a virus.

    If you have a ‘conspiracy theorist’ friend in your life who has been right multiple times in the last 21 months, I’m begging you, to please take a look at what is happening now and see that this isn’t going to get any better until we make it stop.

    So, to you, fellow human being – someone who is clearly so compassionate to put their life on hold for 21 months, please try and spread your compassion and empathy to us and realise that we are NOT the enemy.

  8. 1) The UK will only accept 'approved' vacc., which many countries do not carry 2) Many countries simply don't have the capability of providing vacc. for non-citizens due to shortages/waiting lists. Why doesn't the UK gov. have a supply service (on demand) of approved vacc. available throughout the network of UK embassies/consulates for UK citizens stuck abroad? How did they manage to hold a Christmas party when they can't organize a p*ss-up in a brewery?

  9. Boris is a hypocritical person of the highest degree in political stupidity who is lying on the ground and there is no shame in him. It means that he is someone who will drown the country and is still lying.

  10. Boris is a hypocritical and stupid person. He has no shame. I mean, he must resign if he has shame, but he has no shame. All Britain knows Boris is a hypocritical and stupid person of the first degree.
