Travel rules have been reintroduced in the UK to slow the spread of the Omicron variant.
Everyone arriving in the UK needs to take a day two PCR test, which must be booked before you travel.
While awaiting the results, arrivals have to quarantine at home, or at the place they’re staying.
If the result is negative, you can end your quarantine, but if the test is positive you must self-isolate for 10 full days, with the day of your test counting as day 0.
