> All 11 countries on England’s travel red list are to be taken off it from 4am on Wednesday, amid diminishing concern about Omicron cases being imported into the country.
> The red list was cleared at the end of October, but after the discovery of the Omicron variant in South Africa, 11 countries were put back on it. They were: Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe
Reducing restrictions under a circumstance in which it actually makes sense. Fucking hell, I’ll be checking my windows for flying pigs
I mean it’s clearly spreading rapidly domestically, so the border controls are fairly irrelevant.
It was the same with delta really.
Still have to quarantine on arrival until your test returns negative.
Not sure why that’s required frankly, considering there’s no such restriction on domestic flights or trains.
I’m pleasantly surprised they removed the restrictions so quickly. It never made sense in the first place. Get your boosters everyone.
Very good. Hopefully will be a clear signal to everyone that the UK will not punish them for finding a new variant by months on the red list.
