Further easing of the requirements around international travel have been announced.

For arrivals into England from 4am 11^th February:

• If you are fully vaccinated, you will not need to take a COVID-19 test before you travel to England or after you arrive and you will not need to quarantine when you arrive.

• However, if you are not fully vaccinated, you will need to:

• show proof of a negative COVID-19 test – to be taken in the two days before you travel to England.
• book and pay for a COVID-19 PCR test – to be taken after you arrive in England.
• You will need to book the PCR test before you travel.
• You will not need to quarantine unless the result of the PCR test is positive.

• Everyone arriving into England must still complete a passenger locator form before you travel to England, whether you qualify as fully vaccinated or not.

We know that some employees will be planning trips overseas, particularly as we approach the half term break. Please ensure you are aware of all the requirements for the country you are visiting.

In particular, we wanted to highlight that Spain still has strict vaccination rules in place for travel, which also apply to children of a certain age; those aged 12 and over must have had two doses or more of a COVID-19 vaccine in order to visit the country from the UK.
