Coronavirus News Live Updates: England to offer paid COVID-19 tests to halve 14-day quarantine for travellers International travellers arriving into England will soon have the option to pay for a COVID-19 test after five days of self-isolation to at least halve the current 14-day compulsory quarantine if they test negative, under a new Test to Release strategy unveiled by the UK government. The new plans will come in from December 15 for passengers not currently exempt under the UK's travel corridor rules. Those opting for the privately-operated scheme will be able to book and pay for a test from a provider on a government-approved list. Passengers arriving into England by plane, ferry or train would be expected to book their test before they travel and complete a passenger locator form. If they book after arrival, they can update with a new locator form. We have a plan in place to ensure that our route out of this pandemic is careful and balanced, allowing us to focus on what we can now do to bolster international travel while keeping the public safe, said Shapps. Our new testing strategy will allow us to travel more freely, see loved ones and drive international business. By giving people the choice to test on day five, we are also supporting the travel industry as it continues to rebuild out of the pandemic, he said. The British government said it has considered the evidence which demonstrates that a test after five days of self-isolation provides materially better results than just having a test on arrival, as it allows time for the virus, should it be present, to incubate, helping reduce the risk of a false negative result. Results will normally be issued in 24 to 48 hours, which means people could be released from quarantine six days after arrival
Coronavirus News Live Updates: CM Arvind Kejriwal urges PM to reserve 1,000 ICU beds for Delhiites in Centre-run hospitals Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reserve 1,000 ICU beds for Delhiites in Centre-run hospitals like AIIMS and Safdarjung Hospital as he underlined that the high severity of the third wave of COVID-19 cases in the national capital is due to many factors with pollution being a significant one.
