LONDON: The United Kingdom (UK) in its revised travel advisory has said that passengers arriving from Pakistan with full UK-approved vaccine will only need to take a day 2 test in England, no self-isolation, ARY News reported on Friday.
The passengers who have received Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Moderna COVIVD-19 vaccine doses are exempted from the self-isolation after arriving in UK from Pakistan.
However, the UK has announced not to accept any passengers with the Chinese COVID-19 vaccine. The new guidelines will be enforced from October 11.
The UK government has confirmed that from 4am Monday 11 October, 47 countries and territories will be removed from its red list, making it easier for more people to travel abroad to a larger number of countries and territories. Passengers returning to England from these destinations will no longer be required to enter hotel quarantine.
