Before travel to England
Before you travel to England you must:
take a COVID-19 test – you must take the test in the 3 days before you travel to England
book and pay for a day 2 COVID-19 test – to be taken after arrival in England
complete a passenger locator form
When you arrive in England
After you arrive in England you must take a COVID-19 test on or before day 2.
You do not need to quarantine unless the test result is positive.
If you will be in England for less than 2 days you still need to book and pay for a day 2 COVID-19 test. You only need to take the test if you are still in England on day 2.
You may need to self-isolate if NHS Test and Trace notifies you that you’ve been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. Check the rules about NHS Test and Trace for more information.

Narcity Feature: Sault Ste. Marie, The Ultimate Spot to See Stunning Fall Colours
Only a 1.5 hour flight from Toronto, the region of Sault Ste. Marie (also affectionately known as "the Soo") is one of Canada's top five locations for fall foliage, according to Forbes. Think of a place where maple forests turn cozy shades of red, where you can lose yourself in the coast's orange and yellow splendour, and where the vast multicolour landscape takes your breath away — this is Sault Ste. Marie in the fall.
The largest project in the history of the Sault Ste. Marie Airport is progressing well with painting on 04-22 well underway. This project is expected to be completed by the fall of 2021. Thank you to the crews onsite including our own airport staff, working day and night, in all sorts of weather!
