Wondering if anyone has recently returned to UK from Thailand with young children.

According to UK Gov website children under 11 years old are not required to take a Covid test 3 days before flying.

However the 2 and 8 day tests once in UK during self isolation do not mention if children are exempt.

Has anyone any further clarity on this?

TIA for any replies.

Sorry....just found answer....children under 5 do not require day 2 and 8 tests. It was under "ending quarantine "section. 

They don't make it easy!

I am looking at moving my family to the UK, with my 2 year old and 6 year old, from what I have read children under 11 are exempt.

 

"Children and medical reasons

Children aged under 11 do not need to take a test."

That's the pre-departure test.  The OP was asking about the Day 2 and 8 tests which appear to be waived for those aged 4 and under.
