The United Kingdom is easing travel restrictions for both vaccinated and unvaccinated travelers again next month.
Starting Feb. 11, fully vaccinated travelers and children under age 18 can skip testing, the British Department of Transport and Department of Health and Social Care announced Monday.
Travelers who aren’t fully vaccinated still need to test, before leaving for the UK and within two days of arrival, but they won’t have to self-isolate unless they test positive for COVID.

The Southeast Asian country plans to drop its quarantine requirement, but vaccinated visitors will still need to submit to two COVID tests postarrival.
Thailand will ease entry requirements for vaccinated visitors from all countries next month as concerns about the Omicron variant of the coronavirus decline, officials said Thursday.
The country’s tourism-dominated economy was devastated by travel restrictions imposed in 2020 to fight the spread of COVID-19. The number of foreign tourists has remained low despite a relaxation of the restrictions last year.
