Most of Greece has been removed from the UK government’s list of travel corridors, transport secretary Grant Shapps has announced.

Only the islands of Corfu, Crete, Rhodes, Zakynthos and Kos maintain their exemption from quarantine requirements.

The travel ban on Denmark has been extended for a further 14 days.

The countries added to the travel corridors list this week are: Bahrain, Cambodia, Chile, Iceland, Laos, Qatar, Turks and Caicos Islands and the United Arab Emirates.

The changes come into force on Saturday at 4am.

Latest data also means we have to REMOVE all of GREECE apart from Corfu, Crete, Rhodes, Zakynthos and Kos from the #TravelCorridor list.
From 4am Saturday 14th November, if you arrive into the UK from this destination you will need to self-isolate.

Greece was the last major European hotspot on the travel corridors list.

But the impact of its removal is limited due to existing coronavirus lockdown restrictions.
