Covid question for UK members

[ggallegos1]

I was planning on going to Scotland/London next week. I'm looking at the UK sites to verify covid restrictions for travel and am reading conflicting information. Both my fiance and I are vaccinated in the US, and are US citizens.

My big question to UK members is, can I go to the UK from the US and not need to be quarantined for 10 days? We planned on being between Scotland and London for only a week as i have other things going on at work. I can't afford to be quarantined for 10 days, or even the early release 5 days scheme they offer. I just want to know before I book the flight.

According to this, a 10 day quarantine and two covid tests are still required.

U.S. issues 'Do Not Travel' advisory for UK over COVID-19

The U.S. State Department and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) both issued on Monday their highest warnings against travel to the United Kingdom because of a rising number of COVID-19 cases in that country.

Yeah, as above, 2 tests and 10 days self isolation. It's a joke really, we're a fucking mess here at the moment so telling other countries they need to isolate is cringe.

I think if you go to Tunisia, you can hop on one of those refugee boats and get into the country no problem.

ALL I know... is that the UK's travel policy is fucked beyond belief for International stuff...

I had 3 Holidays cancelled this year... and each time was a ballache...

FIRST 2 times they offered me "vouchers"... which i took and pre-booked again...

By the 3rd time I got pissed and demanded my money back...

PS. My advice... stay where you are... rules can change in an INSTANT! and it will be you paying the costs....

Thanks for the heads up, saved me about $3k in tickets.
