The British Embassy in Moscow reported on its Telegram channel that “due to the spread of new strains of coronavirus in the world, all passengers arriving in England will be required to provide a negative test for COVID-19, made no later than 72 hours before departure to the country.” …
“If a passenger arriving in England does not have test results, he will have to pay a fine of 500 pounds,” – said in the message.
It is noted that “the mandatory test for COVID-19 applies only to those arriving in England.”
“However, we expect the administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to introduce similar measures in the near future. If the country from which you are arriving is not on the list of exceptions, then you will still have to observe the self-isolation regime for 10 days, even if the test result is negative, ”the diplomatic mission said.
Earlier, UK Health Minister Matthew Hancock said that the authorities are currently vaccinating about 200 thousand people a day and strive to reach 2 million vaccinations a week.
