Authorities have revealed a new list of “travel corridors,” with travelers from 59 countries, including France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, and 14 British overseas territories no longer having to isolate themselves for 14 days upon arrival. .
The list, which takes effect on July 10, will open overseas travel to English tourists after four months of closure, just in time for the maximum travel period, provided there are no restrictions on destinations.
“This applies to all travel to England, by train, ferry, coach, plane or any other route,” the statement added.
‘Red List’
The United States was not included in this list of “travel corridors,” meaning that its travelers will have to isolate themselves for 14 days after entering the United Kingdom. This follows a decision earlier this week by the European Union to omit the United States from its list of approved nations to enter.
The UK government is expected to designate the United States as a “red list” travel destination over concerns that it has a “very high” infection rate, UK Transport Secretary Grant said on Friday. Shapps.
“Here, we have things under control, but we know that [the virus] it’s still in full swing in parts of the world … so I’m afraid there’s a red list, “Shapps told BBC Radio 4.
“The United States, from a very early stage, prohibited flights from the United Kingdom and from Europe, so there is no reciprocal agreement,” he added.
On Thursday, more than 52,000 new cases of the virus were reported in the United States, a new daily record, which exceeded one set the day before.
While arrivals from designated countries will not be required to self-insulate upon arrival in the UK, the government has confirmed that UK travelers must comply with coronavirus requirements in the country they are traveling to.
For example, while New Zealand is on the UK government’s list, it requires arrivals to the UK to be quarantined for 14 days. Greece, also on the list, has banned flights from the UK until July 15.
For now, so-called travel brokers will only apply to England, and information for traveling to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will be published in due course, the UK government said.
These are the countries and territories that are part of the “travel broker” list:
Andorra, Germany, New Zealand, Antigua and Barbuda, Greece, Norway, Aruba, Greenland, Poland, Australia, Grenada, Reunion, Austria, Guadeloupe, San Marino, Bahamas, Hong Kong, Serbia, Barbados, Hungary, Seychelles, Belgium, Iceland , South Korea, Bonaire, Saint Eustace and Saba, Italy, Spain, Croatia, Jamaica, Saint Bartholomew, Curacao, Japan, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Cyprus, Liechtenstein, Saint Lucia, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Denmark , Luxembourg, Switzerland, Dominica, Macao, Taiwan, Faroe Islands, Malta, Trinidad and Tobago, Fiji, Mauritius, Turkey, Finland, Monaco, Vatican City, France, Netherlands, Vietnam, French Polynesia, New Caledonia
