Travellers to England Can Reduce Quarantine Period

The UK government has launched a new ‘Test to Release’ scheme that will enable people arriving in England to reduce their quarantine period if they test negative for Covid-19 five days after arrival.
The person travelling will have to pay for a private test, which can cost between £65 and £120. It normally takes 24-48 hours to receive the results.

Travelling to England

At the time of writing, all travellers arriving in England:

Self-Isolation (Quarantine) on Arrival

When you arrive in England, you must travel directly to the place you are staying and not leave until 10 days have passed. The 10-day period is because it can take up to 10 days for coronavirus symptoms to appear.
With the Test to Release scheme, you can pay for a Covid-19 test after 5 days of your quarantine and it comes back negative, you can stop self-isolating.
