The government will soon set out the full details of the new rules for travellers entering the UK from China, Downing Street said.
From Thursday (January 5), travellers from China into England will be required to show a negative Covid-19 test before departing. Downing Street indicated that details for travellers from Hong Kong would also be set out soon.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “We’re working on the final details of the implementation of the policy, and that includes on Hong Kong, and we will update in due course.” He said that the government was in discussions with Chinese officials regarding the new policy, but that he was not yet aware of any “significant improvement” in Chinese information-sharing at this point.
