Passengers from China who arrive in the United Kingdom next week will not face compulsory Covid tests on arrival, The Independent reported on Monday.

Testing at Heathrow Airport will be voluntary and those who test positive will neither be quarantined nor ordered to self-isolate, the report added.

Britain last week had said that passengers arriving in Britain from China would require a negative Covid test taken no more than two days prior to departure after a surge in infections in China.
