British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is scheduled to outline the main points of the vision on Monday. However, details previously outlined by Downing Street on Sunday show that the government is preparing to establish categories of red, yellow and green, according to the rates of coronavirus infection and vaccination in each country.

If you are returning to the UK from red and yellow category countries, you must spend ten days in quarantined or solitary hotels at home.

Restrictions aimed at curbing the coronavirus epidemic in Britain have long included the fact that you are not allowed to travel abroad from England except for a very small number of compelling reasons. The announced travel ban is aimed at preventing tourists returning from abroad from bringing new variants of the coronavirus, jeopardizing the results of the UK vaccination campaign.

The “red list” still exists: the British government categorizes countries in which various variants of the coronavirus are considered of concern, according to experts. Foreigners from these countries without the right of residence cannot enter Great Britain, and British returning from this group of countries, as well as foreigners living in Great Britain, must spend ten days in designated and guarded hotels on their own.

The new planned color-coded system would maintain this requirement for countries in the red category, according to the London Prime Minister’s Office. Returnees from code yellow countries can also spend ten days in home quarantine.

However, travelers returning from green category countries should not be quarantined upon arrival.

Authorization for travel abroad for tourism purposes is set out in a detailed opening calendar drawn up by the British government as of May 17 at the earliest. However, long before this possible date, a special government task force will examine the possibility of reauthorizing travel and will present its recommendations on April 12.
