Covid: Boris Johnson announces mandatory mask wearing and restrictions on travellers amid Omicron variant
Boris Johnson has announced the reintroduction of masks in indoor spaces and some travel restrictions amid the arrival of the Omicron variant in the UK.
The prime minister said anyone arriving in the UK will be asked to take a PCR test for Covid-19 on the second day and they must self-isolate until they provide a negative result.
He also confirmed the reintroduction of face masks on public transport and shops, although they will not be required in hospitality venues.
Anyone in the UK who tests positive with a suspected case of the Omicron variant will also need to self-isolate for ten days, regardless of their vaccination status.
