(asked on 14th December 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make it his policy to introduce rapid covid-19 testing at all UK airports.
This question was answered on 21st December 2020
As of 15 December, international arrivals to England can opt in to Test to Release for International Travel, allowing them to shorten self-isolation by up to 5 days after receiving a negative test result.
Any decisions on whether and how we can further ease border requirements, including whether rapid Covid-19 testing could be introduced at UK airports, will be made on the basis of clinical and scientific evidence.
