Erickson Insights
The UK Government explains that because the Delta variant is now the dominant variant in most countries around the world, the risk of variants entering the UK has been reduced. Travelers should continue to check GOV.UK travel guidance including Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) travel advice before, during and after travel to keep up to date with entry requirements.
