People arriving in UK may need negative Covid test to gain entry

People arriving in the UK may need to have a current negative Covid test to gain entry.

Cabinet Officer Michael Gove today told ITV’s Good Morning Britain that a decision is to be announced on whether the UK will demand a negative Covid test from those entering the country.

He said: “We will be making announcements later today and in the days ahead about how we will make sure that our ports and airports are safe.

“It is already the case that there are significant restrictions on people coming into this country and of course we’re stressing that nobody should be travelling abroad.

“But I don’t want to pre-empt the specific advice that is going to be given.”

Mr Gove said during his series of broadcast interviews that he is in discussions with the devolved UK administrations about the terms of the announcement affecting international visitors.
