Coronavirus: England's quarantine scrapped for arrivals from 50 'low risk' countries

Jul 3, 2020

People arriving in England from more than 50 countries including France, Spain, Germany and Italy will no longer need to quarantine from 10 July, the Department for Transport has confirmed.

A full list of exempt countries posing "a reduced risk" from coronavirus will be published later.

Most travellers to the UK currently have to self-isolate for two weeks.

The Foreign Office is also changing its advice against all but essential travel to a number of countries from Saturday.

The quarantine restrictions only came into force in early June, in a bid to stop coronavirus entering the country at a time when UK infections were falling.
