Covid travel test changes a 'hammer blow' to industry

Nov 11,2023 8:21 am

The Return of pre-departure tests for travellers heading to the UK has been described by the travel industry as a " hammer blow" to the sector.

From 04:00 GMT on Tuesday everyone aged 12 and over will have to take a test a maximum of 48 Hours before leaving.

The government said the tightening of The Rules was necessary because of an increase in cases of the Omicron variant linked to foreign travel.

But The Business Travel Association said livelihoods would be " devastated".

It came as the latest figures from the UK Health Security Agency on Saturday showed a further 26 cases of the Omicron variant had been reported across the UK - taking the total So Far to 160.

Scientists have raised concerns That the heavily-mutated variant may be more transmissible than the dominant Delta strain and be able to escape immunity from vaccines.

Under The Changes , travellers will be required to show proof of a negative PCR or lateral flow test taken no earlier than 48 Hours before departure.

Currently, travellers only need to self-isolate until they test negative within Two Days of arriving into the country.

The government said The Change to The Rules followed new analysis from the UK Health and Security Agency That indicates The Window between infection and infectiousness may be shorter for the Omicron variant.

This increases the effectiveness of pre-departure testing as it is more likely to identify positive cases before travel, the government said.

It was also announced That Nigeria is being added to the red list of countries from Monday.

The Only People allowed to enter the UK from red list countries are UK or Irish nationals, or UK residents, and they must quarantine in a hotel for 10 days.

Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the measures were temporary.

'It's already here'

However, travel industry bosses said they had not been given sufficient warning.

Clive Wratten, chief executive of The Business Travel Association, said: " Public safety is a priority, But businesses will fail, travellers will be stranded and livelihoods devastated by the lack of coherent plans from government. "

Airlines UK said The Change was a " premature" move That would " hit industry and passengers before we see the full data" on the effect of the Omicron variant.

The Trade body added: " The red list extension made complete sense - That 's what it's there for - But we know from experience That blanket restrictions do not stop the importation of variants.

" It's already here. They've now changed their travel advice twice within a week. It's impossible for anyone to plan. "

British Airways ' Chairman Sean Doyle said The Move was " completely out of step with the rest of The World , with every other country taking a measured approach based on the science".

Travel association Abta said the re-introduction of pre-departure tests would be " a huge blow" to " an already devastated travel industry".

The Group called for the government " to Step Up to save jobs and businesses" and for the cost of PCR tests to be reduced.

Analysis

by Katy Austin, BBC transport correspondent

While Labour has pushed for pre-departure testing to avoid Omicron spreading, travel businesses will see it as a significant setback - just when green shoots of recovery were emerging.

Airlines have supported the red list re-introduction and extension. But they view the introduction of blanket restrictions as unnecessary and ineffective.

There was already concern in the industry That people's confidence to travel, and to book future trips, would be knocked by the requirement to take a PCR test within 48 Hours of arriving in the UK, and The Need to self-isolate until a negative result.

The Fear is this latest measure will provide a further deterrent.

Also, the addition of Another Country to the red list comes as some UK residents in South Africa are still struggling to get home, because they can't find quarantine hotel rooms available on The Day their flight arrives.

The Department of Health and Social Care said 21 Omicron cases linked to Nigerian travel had been discovered in recent days.

Mr Javid said this number was growing and Nigeria was now second only to South Africa in terms of linked cases to Omicron.

The Scottish and Welsh governments have confirmed they will also bring in the updated measures for travellers following the assessment of the UK Health Security Agency.

Last week the government's scientific advisory body Sage said pre-departure tests for those arriving in the UK would be valuable, in the.
