The majority of passengers arriving into Jersey are no longer required to take a Covid-19 test at the ports.
People coming into Jersey who are fully vaccinated against coronavirus will no longer be tested on arrival.
All incoming passengers have had to be PCR tested at the airport or harbour since the island's borders reopened on 3 July 2020, unless they decide to isolate for ten days instead.
From today (2 November), anyone who has had two MHRA-approved vaccine doses, plus two weeks, will not need a border PCR test.
That also applies to people who can provide evidence of a negative pre-departure test within 72 hours of arrival, or show they've recovered from Covid within the last 90 days.
Everyone will still have to pre-register with the online travel form within 48 hours of arriving in Jersey. They will be sent a provisional QR code to show on arrival.
People who aren't fully vaccinated and can't provide that evidence will still need to get PCR tested upon arrival and isolate until getting a negative result.
Anyone travelling from UK 'red list' countries, fully vaccinated or not, will need a test on arrival and isolate for ten days.
As of Monday 1 November, there are no counties on the UK red list, but the British government has said it is prepared to add countries and territories back if needed.
It's estimated that the change to Jersey's Covid-19 border PCR programme will lead to an 80% reduction in testing levels.
A 'substantial' cost saving is also expected as a result.
