PART 2

“The following is a public health message on behalf of the UK’s public health agencies.

However long you intend to stay in the UK, everyone must take a pre-booked Covid-19 test within the first two days after you arrive, even if you have been fully vaccinated.

For those not fully vaccinated: if you have been in or transited through any countries on the red or amber list you must also take another pre-booked test 8 days after arrival. And, if you have been in or transited through an amber or red country within the previous 10 days, you must quarantine for the first 10 days after you arrive.

The symptoms of coronavirus are a new continuous cough, a high temperature or a loss of, or change in, normal sense of taste or smell. If you experience any of these symptoms, however mild, you are advised to make yourself known to the crew.

Please follow the public health guidance for the area you are living or travelling in.”
