Britain has no plans to bring back COVID-19 testing for those coming into the country, a government spokesperson said on Thursday, in contrast to a growing list of countries mandating tests for travellers from China.
"There are no plans to re-introduce COVID-19 testing or additional requirements for arrivals into the UK," the spokesperson said when asked about a Telegraph report which said the government will consider curbs for arrivals from China.
The report said officials from the government's Department for Transport , Home Office and the Department for Health and Social Care were expected to decide whether Britain should follow other countries in imposing curbs on travellers from China.
