The UK <\/strong>Government removed Greece from the UK’s travel corridor list<\/a><\/strong> <\/strong>last week. In contrast, some of the famous tourist attractions, including Dubai, made it to the travel corridor list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news extends this week, as Transport Secretary Grant Shapps made his latest UK Travel corridor list update in his Twitter page and stated that;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“ISRAEL, NAMIBIA, RWANDA, SRI LANKA, URUGUAY, BONAIRE, ST EUSTATIUS & SABA, THE NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS and THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS have been ADDED to the #TravelCorridor list.” <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also added,
“If you arrive from these countries after 4 am on Saturday 21st Nov<\/strong> you will NOT need to self-isolate.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Were any countries removed from the air bridge list?<\/u><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, not.
It was confirmed by Shapps in another tweet as,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We will NOT be REMOVING any countries from the #TravelCorridor list this week.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does this mean Britons can travel abroad for a holiday?<\/u><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No.  The DfT has said that, during the lockdown, \u201cpeople can no longer travel to take holidays or travel internationally \u2013 unless for work or other legally permitted reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to this, the rule of fining \u00a3200 to a maximum of \u00a36,400 for those who breach the travel restrictions, is still intact. As confirmed by the DfT, this shall only end on 2nd<\/sup> December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are all these countries in the UK Travel Corridors list quarantine-free destinations?<\/u><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, no.
Not all of these countries allow tourists, yet. Hence, it is advisable to check the prevailing entry restrictions in these countries beforehand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the countries added to the UK Travel Corridors list today, Sri Lanka, Bonaire & Saba, and Israel do not still let tourists in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
