United Kingdom

From 19 July, most COVID-19 restrictions will be lifted. Border controls, quarantine, testing, and self-isolation for positive COVID-19 cases and close contacts remain (see 'Travel' and ‘Staying in the UK’). Requirements for arriving in the UK depend on where you've been, including transits, in the 10 days before you arrive. If you transit Singapore while travelling to the UK from Australia, you'll need to take a COVID-19 (PCR) test on day two after your arrival. The UK has a traffic light system which sets out entry requirements. The list of countries that are 'green', 'amber' and 'red' can change. You need to review the rules before travel. Penalties may apply if you don't follow measures. Northern Ireland has experienced street violence and rioting. This includes attacks on police with stones, fireworks and petrol bombs. The violence has occurred in loyalist areas in west and south Belfast, Londonderry and parts of County Antrim. Avoid areas where riots are occurring and follow the advice of authorities.

We continue to advise:

Do not travel to the United Kingdom due to the health risks from the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant disruptions to global travel.
