Test to release for under 4s

score:4

Accepted answer

If France stays on the amber list and unless the UK government changes its plan (which is very much possible), you and your child will be exempted from quarantine in August. You will still be subject to the pre-departure and day-2 tests. You are not eligible for the new quarantine-free scheme since you are not UK residents and the vaccine was not administered by NHS.

  • from 19 July, arrivals who have been fully vaccinated with an NHS administered vaccine in the UK (plus 14 days), or are on a formally approved UK vaccine clinical trial, returning to England from amber list countries will no longer need to quarantine – passengers will need to provide proof of their vaccination status to carriers in advance of travel
  • pre-departure testing and day 2 testing measures to remain
  • children under the age of 18 to be exempt from quarantine on returning to England from amber countries

Children under 4s are not exempt from the quarantine and must take an approved test-to-release test to be eligible for the scheme.

Testing and quarantine rules for children

Children aged 4 and under do not need to take the day 2 or day 8 test.

Children of all ages need to quarantine at home or in the place they’re staying for 10 full days (the day of arrival in England is day 0).

You will have to pay the private test provider for your test. You will need to book an individual test for each person opting into Test to Release, including children of all ages.

There are test centres and take-at-home test providers that may test on under 4 years old, you might need to call them to clarify.
