The UK is currently reviewing the possibility of introducing restrictions on travellers coming from China as the country battles a surge in Covid-19 cases, defence secretary Ben Wallace has said.
Earlier on Thursday, a government spokesperson said Britain had no plans to bring back Covid-19 testing for those entering the country, when asked about a Daily Telegraph report suggesting curbs for arrivals from China were under consideration.
Several countries, including India, Italy, Japan and the United States, have announced mandatory testing for travellers from China, where cases are on the rise after Beijing’s decision to lift its zero-Covid policies.
