UK's quarantine travel restrictions could be slashed by more than half to just five days under plans to introduce dual testing on arrival at UK airports as ministers weigh up changes.
The Government is currently under intense pressure to reduce the 14-day self-isolation rules amid fears they are causing lasting damage to the travel and tourism industries.
Aviation firms have submitted proposals to ministers which would see people returning from high-risk countries tested on arrival. Noting that many European countries, including Germany and France, already have testing on arrival systems set up at their airports.
They would then be tested again between three to five days later, with two negative tests granting the travelers permission to leave self-isolation.
Ministers are said to be due to weigh up the merits of the proposed way forward at a meeting scheduled to hold later this week.
