UK, France want negative Covid tests for China arrivals: media
Ag AFP
LONDON: The UK will require travellers leaving China for Britain to provide proof of a negative Covid-19 test before boarding, UK media said on Friday.
London and Paris became the latest governments to impose restrictions on arrivals from the Asian country, where coronavirus cases have surged.
Similarly, France said it would require travellers arriving from China to show a negative Covid-19 test, following similar moves by Italy and Spain. Given the rapid rise in coronavirus infections in China, France will now require travellers boarding a flight from China to show a negative Covid test fewer than 48 hours old with their boarding pass, with random tests carried out on passengers on arrival. Positive tests will be sequenced to check for new variants, the government said.
