Arrivals to England need a negative Covid test from Friday - or face £500 fines

The government announced last week that all arrivals to England, Scotland and Wales from overseas will need to show proof of a negative Covid test before entry into the country.

This regulation is now due to come into place for England from 4am on Friday 15 January. A date for when this will come into effect in Scotland and Wales has not yet been announced.
