Summary:
The United Kingdom announced on Friday that it would permit quarantine-free entry for about 60 lower risk nations, excluding India, the US, and some other countries.
The UK Foreign Office Travel Advisory pertaining to India will stay the same, aimed towards helping British nationals avoid all non-essential travel to the COVID-19 hit country.
Reportedly, the list prepared by the UK mentioning names of the nations that are low-risk includes Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand. Among the Asian countries Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, the Caribbean, Mauritius, and Seychelles have made it to the UK’s low-risk nations list.
Like India, the UK had also adopted the policy of self-isolating travelers for a period of 14 days if they have arrived from other parts of the world.
The new measures will become effective from July 10. Under them, visitors from selected green destinations will be allowed to enter England without any quarantine, unless they have made a stopover at the non-exempt countries in the last 14 days.
