Under the government’s latest national lockdown rules, which is now in effect, holidays are banned as international travel is only permitted for a strict number of reasons such as for work.
Within the UK, domestic holidays are also banned as you must stay at home at all times except for a limited number of ‘reasonable excuses’ such as shopping for essentials or work.
The Government has said if you need to travel you should stay local – meaning avoiding travelling outside of your village, town or the part of a city where you live – and look to reduce the number of journeys you make overall.
Any arrivals who flout the rules will face a minimum £500 fine, while the operator who transported them will also be fined.
Controversy: It comes after Lottie was forced to apologise after claiming she was a COVID-19 ‘superspreader’ during an Instagram Live while London was still in Tier 2 restrictions last month
Backlash: The video was filmed while Lottie was out for dinner with four friends who live in the same household, a scenario justified by the model as she lives alone and can therefore join someone else’s support bubble
Awkward! After reflecting on the comments made during the recording, Lottie later confessed to being ‘young and dumb’ and often forgetting her status as a ‘public figure’
Grovelling: She said: ‘Someone in the live popped up saying those words and I repeated them as a joke because I am not and would never condone spreading a virus as serious as this’

Having a good time? It also comes after Lottie revealed she is pansexual during a candid Q&A session on Instagram in November
After reflecting on the comments made during the recording, Lottie later confessed to being ‘young and dumb’ and often forgetting her status as a ‘public figure.’
In an apology posted to Instagram, she said: ‘I just wanted to come on here and say I am so sorry for saying I was a super-spreader.
‘Someone in the live popped up saying those words and I repeated them as a joke because I am not and would never condone spreading a virus as serious as this.
‘I was out for dinner with four friends, three of which are in the same household and under the government guidelines – as I live alone – I am allowed a support bubble of four.
Confession:Media personality Lottie, who famously dated MIC hunk Alex Mytton, 29, in 2016, made the reveal when one fan asked her if she would ever date a girl
Open: The beauty responded via video: ‘I’m pansexual so I don’t really mind… any gender. It kinda changes every day as well. It depends on who I meet’
Jovial: Lottie was certainly in high spirits as she enjoyed the luxuries of the yacht with her pals during a fun-filled afternoon on sunbathing
Playful: The star supposedly jetted abroad for a business trip at a time when most of the UK have seen their holidays cancelled or postponed due to the pandemic
‘I understand this has upset and offended a lot of people and I want to apologise for making such an insensitive joke.
‘I am still young and dumb and learning. I sometimes forget that I am a public figure and during these crazy and uncertain times I should have been more careful with my words.’

A pansexual person is attracted to someone or falls in love with them regardless of their biological sex or gender identity.
When in doubt… dance it out! Lottie slipped into the colourful two-piece with a pink bucket hat as she danced around the boat with her pals
Q&A: Do I need to have proof of a negative Covid-19 test when I arrive in Britain – and what standards must it meet?
What are the new rules for UK arrivals?
All of the travel corridors were scrapped from Monday January 18, so arrivals from every destination will need to self-isolate for ten days, or receive a negative result from a Covid-19 test taken at least five days after they enter the UK.
Do I need to get a negative test when I arrive in the UK?
Yes, all arrivals into England – including British citizens – must test negative for Covid-19 up to 72 hours before leaving the country of departure. Your test will also be checked by the airline before you board a plane abroad.
What will you have to present at the UK border?
Border Force officials are carrying out spot checks on those arriving by air, land or sea – but they have today been checking all arrivals, according to passengers.
Your Covid-19 negative test results must be presented in either English, French or Spanish. Translations are not accepted, and you must provide the original certificate.
The test result must be provided either as a physical printed document or via email or text message, which can be shown on a mobile phone. This must include:
- your name, matching it on your travel documents
- your date of birth or age
- the result of the test
- the date the test sample was collected or received by the test provider
- the name of the test provider and their contact details
- the name of the test device
Anyone arriving without a test result that includes all of the above information will be committing a criminal offence which could see them receive a £500 fine.
What test must you have?
The test must meet standards of ≥97% specificity and ≥80% sensitivity at viral loads above 100,000 copies/ml. The Government says this could include tests such as:
- a nucleic acid test, including a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test or derivative technologies, including loop-mediated isothermal amplification (Lamp) tests
- an antigen test, such as a test from a lateral flow device.
Will you have to prove your test meets requirements?
Yes. The Government says it is your responsibility to ensure a test meets minimum standards for sensitivity, specificity and viral load details – so you must check with your test provider that it meets those requirements.
You may need proof in the form of a letter from a test provider detailing its specificity and sensitivity levels.
What is the difference between the tests?
PCR tests, nasal and throat swab tests normally take between 12 and 48 hours to return results.
Lamp tests can return results in two hours, and lateral flow tests can generate results in less than 30 minutes.
Whichever test it is must meet the required performance standards listed by the Government.
Border Force agents will check that the information required is present on the notification. Provided the test meets the set criteria, then it will be accepted. If it does not, you could be fined – even with a negative test result.
What are the concerns over lateral flow tests?
There are fears that lateral flow tests might not be as reliable as PCR tests. But Innova makes a lateral flow test which has a sensitivity of more than 95 per cent for high viral loads – meeting UK Government requirements.
A trial of one lateral flow test used by the Government found that it detected 79 per cent of cases when administered by a trained professional but only 40 per cent if someone is self-swabbing. This is significantly lower than the more expensive but slower PCR tests which detect 70 to 99 per cent of positive cases.
Passengers are responsible for ensuring their test meets requirements and may be asked to provide proof.
Is there a specific list of accepted tests?
No. The Government does not provide a list of approved providers or tests worldwide. The passenger has to check that the test that they use meets the standards.
What is the penalty if you don’t have a valid test result?
New arrivals who flout the rules will face a minimum £500 fine while their flight operator will also be fined.
Separately, arrivals into England who do not self-isolate can face fines between £1,000 and £10,000.
What are the exemptions?
It applies to arrivals who began their journeys in every country of the world, with the following exceptions:
- Ireland
- Northern Ireland
- Scotland
- Wales
- Isle of Man
- Jersey
- Guernsey
- Ascension
- Falkland Islands
- St Helena
There will also be an exemption until 4am on January 21 for people who began their journey in:
- Antigua and Barbuda
- St Lucia
- Barbados
There are also limited exemptions for the likes of hauliers, young children and train crew members.
Which countries are subject to travel bans?
Travel to and from all of South America, Portugal and Cape Verde was banned from 4am last Friday.
British and Irish nationals as well as people with residency rights will be exempt, but will have to self-isolate for ten days with their household on returning from any countries on the banned list.
A similar ban was put into place for South Africa on December 23 last year, after another new variant was identified by scientists. On January 9, the rules were also applied to Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Eswatini, Zambia, Malawi, Lesotho, Mozambique, Angola, Seychelles and Mauritius.
Are there any differences for the US?
There are no specific differences for travellers arriving from the US, although it is understood some airlines are placing their own requirements on passengers.
The US Embassy in the UK states: ‘The test must be a viral test (NAAT or antigen test) to determine if you are currently infected with Covid-19. Travellers should avoid the antibody tests which look for prior infection.’
