Whilst a "British" culture is evident across the entire United Kingdom, each constituent country has its own cultural tradition and heritage, which can be passionately displayed or debated in equal measure. It is a union of four constituent countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, each of which has something unique and exciting to offer the traveller. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the United Kingdom or the UK) is a constitutional monarchy comprising most of the British Isles. In England and Wales, you can still download the NHS COVID-19 app, which provides updates about the COVID situation, and in Scotland the Protect Scotland app remains available for download, but these apps no longer facilitate contact tracing. The one exception is in healthcare settings (hospitals, care homes, etc.), where a face covering may be a legal requirement.Ĭontact tracing has been phased out across the UK. On public transport services and in indoor public settings (venues, shops, etc.), governments across the UK recommend the wearing of face coverings, but this is not required. Specific guidance varies depending on whether you are in England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland.
