According to the British Embassy in China, starting from November 22 (Monday), the British government will include Kexing Biotechnology, Beijing Sinopharm and Indian Covaxin vaccines on the approved list of entry vaccines. Passengers who have completed the vaccination can enter the UK without quarantine.
Visitors from mainland China need to hold the vaccination approval certificate, otherwise they still need to enter the UK according to the testing and isolation requirements for unvaccinated visitors.
Prior to this, the UK only recognized Pfizer, Modena, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. According to the new regulations, as long as passengers from more than 130 countries are fully vaccinated with any approved vaccine, the restriction on nucleic acid testing before and on the eighth day after entry and the 10-day quarantine will be lifted. Passengers only need to arrive in the UK after they arrive in the UK. Nucleic acid test will be carried out on the second day.
