The United Kingdom has removed the Covid-19 testing requirement for fully vaccinated travellers from all countries starting February 11, Gulf News has reported.

Travellers arriving in the UK from Feb 11 will only require a passenger locator form while those who are not fully vaccinated will have to take a pre-departure Covid test as well as a PCR test on or before two days prior to their arrival in the UK, according to the report.

"The simplification of travel rules comes just before half term, providing welcome news for families looking to travel abroad during the school holidays, as well as an extra boost for the tourism industry," the UK government said on its website. "Thanks to the success of the UK's vaccine and booster rollout, the government is now able to reduce the number of travel restrictions, ensuring there is a more proportionate system in place for passengers."
