After officials previously signaled that a foreign trip may not be possible during 2021, UK transport minister, Grant Shapps, says that even a break on home soil may now be out of the question. However, Shapps has stressed that the UK, which has administered more than 13 million Covid-19 jabs, will have to wait for other destinations to "catch up." Passengers arriving from destinations that aren't on the "red list" must present a negative test within 72 hours of their departure. In addition, they are also required to isolate for 10 days, as well as take a Covid-19 test on the second and eighth day after their arrival. Anyone planning to arrive in the UK from Monday will need to book the new post-arrival tests through an online portal before they travel.
