Government releases full list of countries you can travel to without quarantine

The government has released the full list of countries people can travel to without having to quarantine when arriving back in England.

Countries on the list include Greece, Spain, France and Belgium, as well as Canada and Jamaica to name a few.

Portugal, the US, China and Thailand are among the notable absentees.

Approved destinations pose “a reduced risk to the public health of UK citizens” but the list will be kept “under constant review”, the Department for Transport said.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office will exempt the approved countries from its advisory against all non-essential travel from Saturday, while the quarantine policy will be amended from July 10.

That means people who depart on Saturday and spend at least six days in one of the listed locations will not need to self-isolate on their return.
