Passengers will no longer have to isolate if they produce a negative PCR test

Passengers travelling to Jersey from any country will no longer have to isolate or test on arrival if they can produce a negative Covid PCR test.

This new rule accepting negative pre-departure tests from all countries comes into effect on Tuesday, the Government of Jersey has announced.

Previously only negative PCR tests from the UK were accepted.

A pre-departure form will still be required, plus evidence of a negative test result.

The test must have been conducted within 72 hours of departure.
