The Government and SAGE do not currently advise virus testing for asymptomatic people, either domestically or at the border, apart from in certain settings, such as hospitals, care homes, and prisons.

The?border health measures will be subject to?review, currently every three weeks, to ensure they are in line with the latest scientific evidence and remain effective and necessary.
