PART 1

“ESSENTIAL INFORMATION TO ENTER THE UK

Everyone entering the UK (including UK nationals and residents) must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 3 days prior to direct departure to the UK.

Fill in your passenger locator form up to 48 hours before arrival. You must declare all countries you have visited or transited through in the 10 days prior to your arrival in the UK on your passenger locator form.

What you have to do after you arrive depends on the countries you have visited or transited through.

Before departure, check the list of red, amber and green countries as the list can change regularly.

Red list passengers

Book a Managed Quarantine Package

Complete a passenger locator form

You may not enter the UK unless you are a British or Irish National, or you have residence rights in the UK, or you are eligible for an exemption. You must enter through a designated port of entry and quarantine in a government approved hotel for 10 days.

Amber list passengers

Book tests for day 2 and 8

Make plans to self-quarantine in private accommodation for 10 full days after arrival (or full duration of stay if less than 10 days).

If you are arriving from an amber list country and have been fully vaccinated through an approved vaccination programme at least 14 days before your arrival in Scotland, you must:

Book a test for day 2

Complete a passenger locator form

Green list passengers

Book a test for day 2

These measures apply to all persons (including UK nationals and residents) arriving in the UK from outside the common travel area comprising the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands. The British Overseas Territories are not in the common travel area. Public health requirements may vary depending upon in which nation of the UK you are staying.

Failure to comply with these measures is a criminal offence and you could be fined. There are a limited set of exemptions from these measures. Check the list of exemptions carefully. You may be fined if you fraudulently claim an exemption.”

PART 2

“The following is a public health message on behalf of the UK’s public health agencies.

However long you intend to stay in the UK, everyone must take a pre-booked Covid-19 test within the first two days after you arrive, even if you have been fully vaccinated.

For those not fully vaccinated: if you have been in or transited through any countries on the red or amber list you must also take another pre-booked test 8 days after arrival. And, if you have been in or transited through an amber or red country within the previous 10 days, you must quarantine for the first 10 days after you arrive.

The symptoms of coronavirus are a new continuous cough, a high temperature or a loss of, or change in, normal sense of taste or smell. If you experience any of these symptoms, however mild, you are advised to make yourself known to the crew.

Please follow the public health guidance for the area you are living or travelling in.”
