Travelers arriving in England from Israel, Uruguay, Namibia, Rwanda and Sri Lanka will no longer have to self-quarantine, the government announced.
Those coming from Bonaire, the US Virgin Islands, Sint Eustatius and Saba, as well as the Northern Mariana Islands will also not have to isolate themselves for 14 days upon arrival in the country.
The changes will take effect from 4 am Saturday, as part of the weekly update of the so-called “travel corridors.”
Today, no country is added to the quarantine list, Secretary of Transportation Grant Shapps also revealed.
Its announcement affects only England, as the delegated administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are in charge of their own quarantine lists.
They often meet to discuss what the weekly changes should be, and sometimes make the same or similar decisions about which countries to add or remove.
Wales and Northern Ireland are making the same updates as England this week, while Scotland has yet to make an announcement.
Although restrictions are being relaxed for some travelers, anyone arriving in England will have to follow the “stay at home” rules for the remainder of the second national lockdown, which ends on December 2.
