TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS TO THE UK ON BRITISH AIRWAYS FROM NIGERIA

1. NOT FULLY VACCINATED/PARTIALLY VACCINATED

You must quarantine for 10 full days.

The quarantine period is continuous from the day you arrive in England, and lasts for the next 10 full days after the day you arrived until 11:59pm on day 10. This period is necessary because it can take up to 10 days for COVID-19 symptoms to appear.

To count the days:

• the day you arrive in England is day zero
• the day after you arrive is day 1, and so on

If you’re travelling to England for less than 10 days, you will need to quarantine for the whole of your stay. You must still book and pay for your day 2 and day 8 travel tests, even if you will no longer be in England on the dates of the tests. However, you only need to take the tests if you’re still in England on those dates.

You may leave the place where you’re quarantining after 10 full days.

• Have received a negative result to both your day 2 and day 8 tests
• Do not have any COVID-19 symptoms

Ending quarantine early using Day 5 Test to Release

Under the Test to Release scheme you can choose to pay for a private COVID-19 test on day 5. If the result is negative (and the result of your day 2 test was negative or inconclusive), you can end your quarantine.

You do not have to do this – it’s a voluntary test.

It is still mandatory to book and take your mandatory day 2 and day 8 travel tests, even if your Test to Release result is negative.
