England’s Travel Red List

International visitors who have departed from or transited through any of the below nations in the previous 10 days will not be allowed from entering. This is the new travel red list.

British and Irish citizens or those who have residence rights in the UK will be allowed to enter, but will have to arrive at a designated port and then pay & stay in a government-approved quarantine hotel for 10 days. Once in quarantine, they will have to take a COVID test on the second and eighth day of their self-isolation.

The decision is based on advice from the government-funded Joint Biosecurity Centre.

Overseas holidays are banned under England’s coronavirus lockdown measures until 17 May at the earliest.

A new law came in on Monday threatening a fine of up to £5,000 for anyone who tries to leave England before 30 June without “good reason”, although this could be lifted sooner if travel is allowed to resume.
