Pre-travel tests for Jersey to Guernsey passengers scrapped

Temporary rules for Jersey arrivals into Guernsey have been scrapped.

Pre-travel tests, brought in as a response to Jersey's rising Covid cases in July, are gone.

People arriving from Jersey will now face the same requirements as passengers from the rest of the Common Travel Area.

It means fully vaccinated visitors will be seen as 'blue channel' arrivals - they will not have to self-isolate in Guernsey, but will need to take five lateral flow tests in the ten days after arrival.

Southampton Airport, Portsmouth and Poole ports will also no longer be seen as exempt to travel rules due to the low number of border restrictions.
