International travelers will no longer be required to take a coronaviruses test upon arrival after the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom announced.
The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that the decline in Omicron cases and success doctors had against the latest highly contagious COVID-19 strain would result in the country's economy reopening.

Johnson said during the press conference that the figures are starting to get better because they are moving through the Omicron wave.
Changes will be made to make it easier for travelers to get vaccinations if they have been double-vaccinated.
The chief executives of the UK's largest airlines remained steadfast in their insistence that travel restrictions should be lifted because they had a limited effect in preventing the spread of the latest variant of coronaviruses.
The CEO of easyJet said that testing for travel should be a thing of the past. Travel restrictions did not slow the spread of Omicron in the UK, so it is important that there are no more knee-jerk reactions to future variants.
The government has removed all testing. We can't wait to welcome our customers back onboard as EasyJet plans to return to near-2019 levels of flying this summer.
Johnson said last week that people would no longer be required to wear face masks at work or at home.
The Prime Minister revealed plans to change self-isolation protocols and drop mandatory COVID-19 certification requirements for businesses if they don't want to enforce the mandate.
