Netherlands drops pre-departure test requirement

Travel to the Netherlands will be made easier from tomorrow (Wednesday) as Covid curbs are further relaxed.

People visiting from the UK will no longer require a negative pre-departure test for travel to the country regardless of their vaccination status.

The change was confirmed in updated Foreign Office travel advice.

Face masks will no longer need to be worn from March 23 on public transport, taxis, coaches and ferries.

The need to test for entry to nightclubs and large events will also be dropped.

It follows the lifting of mandatory quarantine for all travellers from the UK.

The timing will be seen as helping boost short-breaks to cities such as Amsterdam ahead of the Easter holidays.
