Italy, San Marino and Vatican City State have now been removed from Britain’s ‘safe travel’ list with travellers arriving back in England after 4am this morning now needing to self-isolate.
So where, if you wanted to, could you go on holiday right now without any coronavirus restrictions?
There are 55 countries and territories on the most up-to-date UK travel corridor list provided by the government, meaning those returning from these destinations do not need to self-isolate on return, however many of the countries have their own restrictions in place on travellers entering in from the UK.
It is understood that the government are soon to announce a new scheme offering testing at UK airports, potentially reducing the amount of time international travellers need to spend in quarantine.
With the restrictions taken on board, Swindonian’s are left with just four holiday destinations to choose from with no restrictions in place.
If you are travelling from a high risk area then that drops to just three.
These are the places that travellers from England can fly to with no tests or quarantine either side:
- Mainland Greece – except Mykonos
- Germany – if you’re not from North West England, North East England, Yorkshire and the Humber, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland
- Sweden
- Gibraltar
Travellers are still reminded that by law they must self-isolate for two weeks when returning from a country not listed on the travel corridor below. In England, if you do not self-isolate, you can be fined £1,000.
