Coronavirus rules for people arriving in the UK have been significantly relaxed.
Here the PA news agency answers seven key questions about what has happened:
When did the changes come into effect?
On Friday at 4am.
– What are the new rules for fully vaccinated travellers?
They do not have to take any coronavirus tests.
– What was the previous situation?
They were required to buy a post-arrival lateral flow test, costing around £20 each.
– What about if I am unvaccinated
You do not need to self-isolate after you arrive.
But you must take a pre-departure lateral flow test, and a post-arrival PCR test.
– How is that different to before?
Travellers who are not fully vaccinated were previously required to self-isolate on arrival and take two post-arrival PCR tests.
– What about the passenger locator form?
All arrivals must continue to fill this in.
The UK Government has pledged to simplify the form following complaints it is too complicated.
– How about other countries?
Many popular holiday destinations such as Spain, Portugal, Greece and Turkey do not require fully vaccinated UK holidaymakers to take a test before they arrive.
France requires arrivals to have evidence of a negative test taken within 48 hours of departure, although there is speculation that will be dropped shortly.
