The UK Government has put in place new regulations for visitors to the country after the discovery of the Omicron variant. The requirements have been put in place.
The news came from a press conference.
Testing and isolation.
All arrivals into the UK will be recorded.
International arrivals must take a Day 2 test.
International arrivals mustolate until they get a negative result.
All contacts of suspected Omicron cases have to self-isolated. They will be contacted by a third party.
This will be introduced next week.
There are face covering and masks.
The good times and the summer have made mask wearing more relaxed. That comes to a screeching halt.
From next week, face coverings will be compulsory on public transport. The settings of the hotel will be exempt.
England will be in line with Scotland and Wales. The changes will go into effect next week.
The red list has an update.
Travel restrictions have been put in place.

Plan accordingly.
If you want to be at work immediately after a trip, you need a boss who likes the term "work from home". Plan at least three days from arrival to allow for testing and reporting of results.
The private test providers are going to be swamped in the next few days.
As the world tries to understand this new variant, patience is going to be key.
