When entering England, there is one less hurdle for fully vaccinated travelers since October 4. Unlike before, they are no longer required to take a rapid test before crossing the border, according to updated entry rules from the British government.
However, there is still a requirement to register online and book in advance through one of the officially certified providers for a paid PCR test, which must be taken on the second day after entry. This usually costs at least 50 pounds (the equivalent of about 58 euros). These regulations also apply to travelers under the age of 18; children under the age of 10 are exempt from the testing requirement.
However, this requirement is also expected to change in the course of October: Then a cheaper rapid test after entry is to suffice. Critics complain that this would mean that the UK would lose control over the introduction of dangerous variants, as rapid tests cannot be sequenced. However, only a fraction of entry PCR tests are currently sequenced accordingly.
Those who are not vaccinated or not fully vaccinated need a negative PCR or antigen test in addition to registration for entry. Additionally, one must have paid testing on the second and eighth day. In addition, a ten-day quarantine must be taken. There is a possibility to be tested free on the fifth day of isolation.
Note: Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland decide independently on their Corona policies and sometimes have somewhat stricter rules.
