Covid entry requirements for the UK have relaxed.
Over the last two years the travel and tourism industry has been hit hard with fleets forced to a halt as restrictions and limits spread around the world in an attempt to control the spread of Covid-19.
But now, those who are fully vaccinated can enter the UK with very little rules to follow by.

Last year the UK Government scrapped the traffic light system which set an amount of rules depending on what country you travel from.
Now it depends on your vaccination status.
If you are fully vaccinated (two doses) and flying into Scotland or the rest of the UK, you no longer have to take a pre-departure Covid test or a day two PCR or antigen test.
The new rules came into force at 4am on Friday February 10, just in time for the February half term break when Scots are expected to jet off on holiday.
Now the return journey will be easier and cheaper for many.
Entry requirements for flying into the UK
Fully vaccinated arrivals need to:
- Complete a Passenger Locator Form.
- Provide proof of your vaccination status. Your proof needs to show that it's at least 14 days since you had your final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Non-fully vaccinated arrivals need to:
- Complete Passenger Locator Form,
- Take a pre-departure PCR Covid test no more than two days before your flight.
- Take a day two PCR Covid test when you arrive.
- There is now no need to isolate or take a day eight test as long as the day two test returns negative.
