😷Covid-19 Policies

There are no coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions in the UK.

If you have COVID-19 you should try to stay at home. Most people cannot get free COVID-19 tests. You can buy tests in shops, but you cannot report the result to the NHS. You can get vaccinated against COVID-19 by the NHS. You do not need to take a test or quarantine when you arrive in the UK.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) tests are no longer free for most people.

Some people can still get free COVID-19 rapid lateral flow tests from the NHS. You can get free NHS tests if you have a health condition which means you're eligible for COVID-19 treatments. You may also be able to get free NHS tests if:

• you're going into the hospital

• you work in healthcare or adult social care

You can book a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or booster dose of the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine or manage an appointment. However, you will have to be registered with a GP surgery in England. Those who are eligible:

• 1st and 2nd doses for anyone aged 5 years old and over, who turned 5 on or before 31 August 2022
