UK govt planning to do away with Covid test upon arrival for vaccinated travellers: Report

"We are looking at removing all COVID tests for vaccinated travellers by the end of January," The Sunday Times qouted a source close to the UK transport minister as saying.

The UK government is reportedly planning to do away with the requirement of mandatory COVID-19 tests post-arrival into the country for fully vaccinated travellers, including from India, as part of preparations of having to live with coronavirus in the future.

According to 'The Sunday Times', UK Transport Secretary Grant Shapps is understood to be in favour of ending the testing regime for all those who have had both vaccine doses, in time for school holidays in the UK in February.
