COVID tests for fully-vaccinated Brits returning to the UK are set to be scrapped in a major boost for half-term holidays.
Day two tests have already been downgraded from PCRs to cheaper lateral flows, and they could soon be ditched altogether.The move would allow families a stress-free getaway come February 18 when most schools break up for a week, with no need to fork out for the at-home kits or visit test centres. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps is understood to be poised to make the announcement on January 26 whenA source close to the Cabinet minister told The Times: "We are looking at removing all Covid tests for vaccinated travellers by the end of January, which is likely to coincide with the review of the Plan B measures on January 26."amid growing confidence the UK can ride out the Omicron wave.
