Full list of countries exempt from quarantine for travellers returning to England is published

The Government has published its full list of 73 countries which will be exempt from quarantine rules.

The long-awaited list of "travel corridor" destinations includes Germany, Italy and Spain, as well as further afield locations including New Zealand, Vietnam and South Korea.

The US and China are among those not to appear. Portugal is also not on the list.

From July 10, those who travel to the listed countries from England will not have to self-quarantine for two weeks when they return.

Approved destinations pose “a reduced risk to the public health of UK citizens” but the list will be kept “under constant review”, the Department for Transport said.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office will exempt the approved countries from its advisory against all non-essential travel from Saturday, while the quarantine policy will be amended from July 10.

That means people who depart on Saturday and spend at least six days in one of the listed locations will not need to self-isolate on their return.

Scotland and Wales are yet to decide whether to ease their own travel restrictions.

Northern Ireland will also uphold its current rules for visitors arriving from outside of the UK and Republic of Ireland.
