This requirement will apply to all visitors to the UK and returning residents, whether vaccinated or not, and will take effect next Tuesday at 4 a.m. Tests must be completed within 48 hours of departure.

Due to the discovery of the Omikron variant in southern Africa, six countries were initially added to the red list (South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho, and Eswatini), and four more were added last Sunday (Angola, Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia).
