Not fully vaccinated persons will always have to be detected two days before their trip and submit to a PCR test after their arrival, but they will no longer have to isolate.

Fully vaccinated travelers arriving in the United Kingdom will no longer need to perform a COVID-19 test from February 11, a measure announced on Monday and was very awaited before the next school holidays. “What we do for trips is to show that this country is open to business, open to travelers,” said British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Currently, the doubly vaccinated travelers must reserve a CVIVID-19 antigenic or PCR test after their arrival. Those who are not entirely vaccinated must do a test before they leave, then two PCR tests after their arrival, and must isolate 10 days.
In Parliament, the Minister of Transport, Grant Shapps, said vaccinated passengers would be exempted from any screening as of Friday, February 11th. “It is obvious to me that now the border tests for vaccinated travelers have lost their usefulness,” he explained. He also announced that the United Kingdom would recognize immunization certificates from 16 additional countries, including China and Mexico.
Fully vaccinated travelers no longer need to isolate yourself and perform an eight-day test after arrival. However, however, they will have to have been negative tested two days before their entry and do a PCR test after their arrival.
The transport sector satisfies
If England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland decide each of their own public health policy, the four United Kingdom nations have agreed to apply the same measures. Grant Shapps defended a “proportioned system that brings us closer to normality, while maintaining essential protections in terms of public health”.
