our business correspondent, katie prescott reports. katie prescott, reports.ing. only a few days ago, the transport secretary told the telegraph, "holidaymakers won't be asked to take "pre—departure covid tests." now, pre—departure testing has arrived as the new variant of the virus spreads. we have also decided to require pre—departure tests. that's for all inward travellers. that will be affected from 4am on tuesday and they will be required that will be affective from 4am on tuesday and they will be required a maximum of 48 hours before the departure time. we've been clear that we will take action if it is necessary. but it is important that, whilst we are introducing these new border measures today, that to remember that vaccinations, remember, they are our first line of defence and the booster programme, the expansion of the booster programme is hugely important. from monday, nigeria will be added to the red list. only uk citizens will be able to enter the country from nigeria and they'll have to pay to quarantine on arrival. the problem is there might no

katie prescott, bbc news.ke to me earlier and emphasised that there is an awful lot we still do not know about the omicron variant. there�*s an awful lot of uncertainty regarding the potential impact in the medium term future of the omicron variant but what we do know is there is now increasing evidence from south africa that it�*s extremely widespread there and that the reinfection rates, the rate at which the variant is infecting people who have already been infected with other versions of coronavirus is higher. that�*s something that�*s new and different compared to the other variants. it�*s that increased risk which means it�*s more likely that highly vulnerable portions of the population here are likely to have greater risk posed to themselves, we had largely protected them through a combination of natural infection and vaccination, mainly the latter. some of those protections will likely disappear but we do not know for sure. in terms of the impact of the omicron variant, we keep hearing it is mild and i

katie prescott, bbc news.viser professor mark woolhouse has been talking about if the travel restrictions are likely to make much of a difference to the spread of the omicron variant. i think that may be a case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. if omicron is here in the uk, and it certainly is, if there's community transmission in the uk, and it certainly looks that way, then it's that community transmission that will drive the next wave. the cases that are being imported are important, we want to detect those and isolate any positive cases that we find, as we would for any case anywhere. but i think it's too late to make a material difference to the course of the omicron wave, if we're going to have one. our political correspondent, ione wells, is here. what is the government are saying about the thinking behind this strategy? fix. about the thinking behind this strate: ? �* , , ., strategy? a mixed response from government _ strategy? a mixed response from government this _ strategy? a m

katie prescott, bbc news. you're watching bbc news.ency says there have been 86 additional confirmed cases of the 0micron variant of coronavirus, bringing the total in the uk to around 246. the bbc�*s health correspondent katherine de costa explains what uk scientists know about this new variant so far. early data from south africa suggests infections are spreading more quickly than in previous ways, and there's a high risk of reinfection among those who already had covid. most cases are mild, but it's early days. confirmed cases are low, but they are rising, and health officials say they're not all linked to travel. that suggests that there is some community transmission. it's difficult to know if it will take off delta here in the uk. over 80% of the over 12s are double jab. a third are boosted. the government says its current measures are enough to slow the spread. we might find out in the next few days how our antibodies control or neutralise the variant, but it may take several weeks to gather enough real—world data to see how the
