UK to require negative Covid test before entry
After the best part of a year faffing about and generally allowing Covid to run riot through the country the UK government has decided to require a negative Covid test in the 72 hours before departure for the UK for all travellers - including UK citizens. Also, unless coming from designated countries, those people arriving will have to isolate - the stupidity continues though as unlike most other countries to get to where you are going to isolate you can travel by public transport. I just cannot understand how we have had such a hard hit from Covid compared to other islands like Australia (909), Ireland (2,307) and New Zealand (25).
