UK to ease travel rules for fully vaccinated travellers from October 11

UK is about to bring a change in its  travel rules and remove tough COVID-19 quarantine requirements for 37 destinations including India, South Africa, and Thailand from Monday in order to make it easier for people to arrive from these countries.

See the official tweet:

However, those arriving before the cut off date of October 11 would still need to follow the rules for unvaccinated travellers.

Passengers who have not received an authorised vaccine and are arriving from the rest of world must still take a pre-departure test, followed by testing on day two and day eight, and complete 10 days self-isolation (with the option of undergoing testing in order to be released on day five).
