Reports indicate that the UK government is easing the testing and self-isolation regime for travellers returning to England from this weekend.

The key changes are:

* Travellers will no longer need to take a pre-departure test before returning to England.
* Travellers can take a lateral flow rather than PCR test within two days of returning to England.
* Travellers will no longer need to self-isolate whilst awaiting the test result from their test.

The announcement has been widely welcomed by the travel industry.

It comes as heavy snowfall returns to much of the Alps after a warm weekend, Chatel in France is pictured above this weekend.

Currently the rule changes will only apply in England.
