UK removes all travel restrictions

THE UK GOVERNMENT lifted all remaining restrictions on international travel for all passengers on March 18, including the Passenger Locator Form (PLF) for arrivals into the UK, as well as all tests for passengers who do not qualify as vaccinated.

This change removes the need for unvaccinated passengers to take a pre-departure test and a day two post-arrival test. The removal of restrictions is part of the UK government’s Living with COVID plan and reflects the success of the UK’s vaccine and booster rollout, with 86 per cent of the population having received a second dose and 67 per cent of the population with a booster or third dose.
