Strict Covid Rules Hit England: Day 2 PCR Test and Quarantine in Force
Day 2 PCR Test Mandatory for All Arrivals
Everyone arriving in England from overseas must take a PCR test on day 2 after landing. Travellers must stay self-isolated until they get a negative result. No exceptions.
10-Day Isolation for Omicron Contacts
If you’re a contact of a suspected Omicron case, it’s a hard 10-day self-isolation – vaccinated or not. The NHS Test and Trace team will be in touch to enforce this.
These tough measures come as the UK battles the spread of the Omicron variant with no room for compromise on quarantine rules.
