International travel testing updated

Scotland to align with UK testing regime.

Testing for inbound international travel is to be eased and will align with the UK following consideration of the logistical, health and economic implications, Cabinet Secretary for Net Zero, Energy and Transport Michael Matheson has said.

Pre-departure tests for fully vaccinated travellers will be removed. Travellers from non-red list countries who have been fully vaccinated in a country that meets recognised standards of certifications will no longer be required to provide evidence of a negative test result before they can travel to Scotland. 

For practical purposes, Scotland will also align with the UK post-arrival testing regime. Details for the UK are still being finalised and we will continue to engage with the UK Government ahead of confirmation as soon as possible.

Separately, in consultation with Public Health Scotland, the Scottish Government will consider how additional safeguards and surveillance of inward travel can be implemented to guard against the importation of new variants. This will be at no cost to travellers. Details will be set out in due course.

Last week, the Scottish Government announced how restrictions put in place to protect public health have been substantially revised to make travel simpler, with green and amber classifications merged while the red list is retained for those countries deemed to have high COVID19 case rates or variants of concern. 

Cabinet Secretary for Net Zero, Energy and Transport Michael Matheson said:

“We have concerns that the UK Government’s proposals to remove the requirement for a pre-departure test for some travellers could weaken our ability to protect the public health of Scotland’s communities.

“However, we also recognise that not having UK wide alignment causes significant practical problems and creates disadvantages for Scottish businesses. Also, if non alignment led to travellers to Scotland choosing to route through airports elsewhere in the UK, the public health benefits of testing would be undermined in any event.

“We have urgently considered all these implications, weighing any possible impact on the public health and the logistical realities. After liaising at length with stakeholders from the aviation sector to understand the impact of adopting a different approach in Scotland, we have reluctantly concluded that, for practical reasons, alignment with the UK is the best option.

“The new proposals make clear pre-departure tests will no longer be a requirement. We also intend to align with the UK post-arrival testing regime. The detail of that is still being developed with lateral flow tests being considered and we will engage further with the UK Government on those plans. Details will be announced at the same time as the UK.

“Lastly, the importance of guarding against new variants entering the country can’t be ignored. We will therefore be considering, with Public Health Scotland, the implementation of additional public health surveillance around international travel. We would intend this to be at no cost to travellers.”

Background

The traffic light system of checks for international travel put in place to protect the public health comes to an end on 4 October.

Travellers from red list countries, and those that haven’t been fully vaccinated, will need to comply with existing restrictions.

There will be no pre flight tests required in either direction, but will still have to do a Day 2 test following your return, plus any form filling (locator forms) required.

 

It has still to be confirmed if the Day 2 test will be a PCR or Antigen test and when that change will take place.

 

All subject to change at short notice of course.

Reading the statement you posted I assume it will be lateral flows and 4th October as it says they intend to align with U.K. govt. 

My understanding of the UK (England) position is that pre return tests will no longer be required from 4th October. However England has only stated an intention to replace the Day 2 PCR test with an Antigen test, without confirming the start date, although it is hoped to have this in place for the October school holidays.

Looks like it’s a day 2 test on arrival as long as they are from/travelling with a fully vaccinated family.

50 deaths is the highest for a while. Up fourfold since the start of this month. Going on holiday seems a mute point against that.

[Boab]

Just now, Lord BJ said:

 

Are you suggesting people shouldn’t be going on holiday as people are dieting of COVID?

 

 

No I’m not. 
That’s some leap.

In fact, it’s ridiculous.

It’s the highest daily figure for over six months.

So what’s your point then ? 

[Victorian]

I think,  excuse me if I'm wrong Boab,  that his point was in the context of perspective.  That holidays and the obstacles people encounter to have them,  while absolutely rightful and unrelated to the deaths,  are perhaps not as onerous as sometimes depicted,  in comparison to the people directly affected by the ongoing grief caused by covid.  

 

One person groans about testing obstacles.  Another person loses a relative.

 

Positioning to jump down the guy's throat and telling him to chill out is a bit rich tbf.

Whose jumping down anyones throat? Two people have asked for clarification on an strangely  worded post. 

 

I’ll be honest, you’ve tried to explain and I ain’t sure what your trying to say🤷🏻‍♂️

 

 

 

Both were quite pointed tbh.  I think anyone can see the tone of your so-called request for clarification.

I didn't think he was out of order, I wasn't sure if that's what was meant either (it's moot, not mute for a start! 😁)

[Victorian]

Just now, Lord BJ said:

 

That your projection tbh. 
 

I asked a question no more no less. 

 

I still have no idea what he meant by the post to be honest. Though that snot unusual for JKB tbh, my own posts included. 

 

I think it was in the context of perspective as I suggested above.  Could be wrong.

Aint never mute on here.  

[Victorian]

Just now, Lord BJ said:

 

I think its a stupid point then.

 

Not seeing it as stupid tbh.  It looks perhaps a bit misplaced but easy to see the general point.

 

It's great that folk are getting their holidays.  Testing isn't all that onerous.

 

De end.

[Victorian]

Just now, Lord BJ said:

 

We’ll need to agree to disagree then, I see it as ****ing stupid point, mainly due to the absence of any nuance and a false comparison. Albeit @Boab could clarify what he meant and neither you or I would be making assumptions on what he meant. Maybe someone should ask for a clarification 😂

 

Yes its good news that the world is beginning to open up and people are getting away, with less expense and hassle and the final parts of the economy are beginning to return . People dieing doesn’t change that really change that as, you rightly say and as unfortunate as some may find that. 

 

Anyway take it easy 👍

 

 

 

 

 

Glad to see you're taking it easy.  👍

I thinks it's now all about living with the virus and excepting deaths. Hopefully the boosters for the vulnerable will reduce the deaths a bit until the virus mutates into the cold that a lot of experts are now predicting
