The change to the quarantine rules, which was announced Tuesday and takes effect on Dec. 15, has been long-awaited by the travel industry, one of the worst-hit sectors during the pandemic. The change will bring the rules governing quarantines in England more in line with other European countries, including Germany.
"Our new testing strategy will allow us to travel more freely, see loved ones and drive international business," Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said. "By giving people the choice to test on Day 5, we are also supporting the travel industry as it continues to rebuild out of the pandemic." As well as throwing into turmoil the vacation plans of many British families, the government's sudden changes have rocked the travel industry.
Mark Tanzer, chief executive of the travel trade group Abta, said the new testing scheme should make overseas travel "more attractive and manageable for both holidaymakers and business travellers."
