Clearly not.
The attestation is an old, not recent, requirement but did not apply to visitors from the UK when we were in the EU. I guess some indication might be drawn from how diligently they were checked for visitors from, say, the US or Aus/NZ previously - but it is probable that Covid has thrown them into sharper relief.
It has been discussed in more than one thread recently - e.g. see here Attestation to visit, not sure another thread will shed additional light.
