Travelling Abroad During Covid – What You Need To Know

The borders have only recently opened, allowing us Brits to travel to some of our favourite abroad holiday destinations including Spain, France and Florida! But, the way of travelling has changed massively with there being many new rules that you need to follow.

When you decide to travel for your first holiday abroad since covid-19, here are the new rules that you must follow.

Before you travel, you must take a specific holiday COVID-19 test, these can be a recorded LFT or a PCR test. These results must be negative in the days leading up to your travel day.

Once you arrive abroad, you’re likely the need to take another LFT test the day after your arrival. This should show negative before you decide to venture out into the country.

When you travel back home, you will again need to test within the first 5 days of you arriving home. This is to again ensure you have not caught covid whilst being away.

If your tests come back positive at any time, you will need to self isolate no matter where you are. If this crosses over with the end of your holiday, you will need to pay for more accommodation and flights until your self-isolation days are over.
