SNP - What A Shambles!


So the SNP's barmy tax on travellers is to be relaxed and Scotland will, after all, fall into line with the rest of the UK.

Just days ago Scottish Ministers said a tougher regime in in Scotland was essential for public safety, but after the SNP's usual idiotic showboating on Covid - the plans are suddenly being dropped.

Not before lots of holidaymakers and travellers to Scotland have been fleeced by having to pay for expensive PCR tests though!
 
The Scottish Government's fully house-trained Covid 'renta-gob' Devi Sridhar has yet to comment having insisted ministers were doing exactly the right thing just 4 days ago.

What a shambles!


  


Covid: Scotland's international travel testing regime to be relaxed

Covid testing requirements for international travel are to be relaxed in Scotland.

The Scottish government has announced pre-departure tests for fully vaccinated travellers will be removed.

Scottish ministers also said they "intend to align with the UK post-arrival testing regime" but details of this have still be finalised.

This includes whether a PCR or lateral flow test will be required within two days of arriving home.

Plans to simplify the international travel traffic light system with green and amber classifications merging, and more countries being removed from the red list, had already been announced.

But the Scottish government initially said the testing requirements would remain in place for the time being "due to significant concerns at the impact on public health".

Now it has confirmed that travellers from non-red list countries who have been fully vaccinated will not be required to provide evidence of a negative test result before they can travel to Scotland.

Cabinet Secretary for Transport Michael Matheson said the Scottish government still had concerns about the relaxation but the move to align with the rest of the UK came after consideration of the "logistical, health and economic implications".
