Guernsey is to also accept vaccination certificates from European Union and European Free Trade Association member statesFor travellers from Jersey, the observed lateral flow test - watched by observers such as pharmacy staff - will need to have been taken within two days of travel, and travellers will also need to buy a pack of five tests in the island.
The Guernsey Civil Contingency Authority said it was making the change as lateral flow tests were more accessible in Jersey.The CCA said it would also accept them from countries which were European Free Trade Association members, including Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.
