New rules for UK arrivals in place from December 18

New rules are introduced for passengers arriving from the UK as of December 18, due to the surge of omicron variant cases.

A Health Ministry announcement says that all passengers arriving aged 12 and over and irrespective of vaccination coverage or previous infection from COVID, need to stay in self isolation at their residences or place of staying until their PCR test comes back. In case the test is positive they must remain in isolation and wait for further instructions from the contact tracing unit.
