Covid testing for fully vaccinated travellers arriving in England will be scrapped, Boris Johnson has announced.
Confirming the move, the transport secretary told the House of Commons that post-arrival lateral flow tests would no longer be required from 4am on 11 February.

Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of United Kingdom
