Boris Johnson has given a statement in the Commons on the situation in the UK regarding the Omicron variant of Covid-19.
In it he announced pre-departure tests would be scrapped from 4am on Friday for travellers heading to the UK.
The requirement to self-isolate on arrival until receipt of a negative PCR test will also be scrapped, he told the House of Commons.
Mr Johnson confirmed that the Government would stick with Plan B measures for another three weeks.
It comes as the PM and Angela Rayner clashed at PMQs. Mr Johnson was grilled on the cost of living crisis as Ms Rayner deputised for Sir Keir Starmer, who has tested positive for Covid-19.
Earlier it emerged an estimated 3.7 million people in the UK had Covid-19 in the week ending December 31.
The latest Office for National Statistics figures show an estimated one in 15 in England had the virus last week - and one in 10 in London.
