Have you all booked your Covid tests & figured how to complete your locator form ?

Well - from this coming friday 18th March, there's no need 🙂.

 

No Covid tests required, even if you're not vaccinated.

No forms to fill in.

 

Applies to England & Wales.

Scotland & Northern Ireland may follow in the near future. As per an earlier post, if you visit Scotland or N. Ireland from either England or Wales there are no requirements - but for the time being if you fly into either from elsewhere you will still need to apply on-line to complete the locator form (no more that 3 days before travel,  earlier permitted if you arrive on a cruise ship),  and if you can't prove that you've had two covid jabs (or one of the single-dose J&J vaccine) the testing rules also remain.

Great news.  So we enter and exit Britain like pre Covid nothing to do.

 

Hope Canada follows suit, presently before entering Canada, we have to take a rapid Covid test 1 day  before and have to complete ArriveCAN app 72 hours.

Effective April 1, Canada no longer need a rapid test to enter Canada, you still need to complete ArriveCAN app.

Only true for fully vaccinated travellers however.

Now, we have to wait to see what Princess is doing about Covid testing - at dockside or 2 days before?

Exactly... They are taking their sweet time. And also, I am praying that the USA will not require them to fly home.  After all, our neighbors to the north no longer require it.
