PCR tests to be scrapped for fully vaccinated travellers returning to England in October
Fully vaccinated travellers will no longer need to take a pre-departure Covid-19 test before they depart for England from 4 October.

forums! I am looking for advice on a
PCR test which was guaranteed to reach me by midnight the day before travelling
