Government publishes England’s list of quarantine-free countries
The Government has, today, published the list of countries considered “safe”, from which travellers arriving in the UK from 10 July 2020 onwards will no longer be required to quarantine.
The quarantine-free list includes Belgium, Greece and Spain, but excludes Portugal, the United States and Russia.
The quarantine requirement was introduced by HM Government on 8 June.
From 10 July 2020, unless they have visited or stopped in any other country or territory in the preceding 14 days, passengers arriving from the following countries and territories will not be required to self-isolate on arrival into England:
- Andorra
- Antigua and Barbuda
- Aruba

- Austria
- Bahamas

A four-nation approach has not been agreed, so the suspension of quarantine measures only takes place for travel to England. The administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have not yet adopted this measure.
