The UK government has confirmed that temporary and precautionary measures will be implemented from Tuesday, 30th November to prevent the spread of the new COVID-19 Omicron variant.
Individuals are asked to take measures such as covering face in banks, post offices, as well as on public transport unless they are exempt from doing so.
All travellers arriving into the country from 4am on Tuesday 30 November will be required to take a PCR test on or before day 2 and self-isolate until they have received a negative test result. These PCR tests can be purchased from private providers. Free NHS tests are not valid for this purpose.
Close contacts of anyone who has tested positive for the Omicron variant are required to isolate for 10 days regardless of whether they have been vaccinated.
