Britain on Saturday announced tougher entry rules for all arriving passengers and the return of a masks mandate, after confirming its first two cases of the new Omicron strain of Covid-19.

Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson leaves after attending a media briefing on the latest Covid-19 update in the Downing Street briefing room, central London on November 27, 2021. Britain will require all arriving passengers to isolate until they can show a negative PCR test against Covid-19, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Saturday after the new Omicron strain emerged.

He signalled no new lockdown now, vowing a review of the new measures in three weeks and expressing hope that Britons could look forward to a more festive Christmas than last year. Currently, all Britons and foreigners entering the UK are required to take a PCR test on day two after their arrival. The prime minister did not specify when the new testing regime and masks mandate would enter into force.But effective early Sunday, the government said it was placing another four African countries on its travel ban — Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Angola.

“We have moved rapidly and the individuals are self-isolating while contact tracing is ongoing,” Health Secretary Sajid Javid said.
