In the United Kingdom, two cases of Omicron, a highly infectious strain of the virus, have been reported.

According to Johnson, all visitors to the UK will be required to take a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test by the end of the second day.

 

Travellers must self-isolate until they receive a negative test result.

 

“All contacts of suspected Omicron cases must self-isolate for 10 days, regardless of their vaccination status. They will be contacted by NHS Test and Trace.

“Face coverings will become compulsory on public transport and in shops – not including hospitality.
