Italy and two other countries have been removed from the travel corridor list, as coronavirus cases continue to rise.
Italy, Vatican City and San Marino have all been taken off the "safe" travel list, with travellers coming into the UK from those countries forced to self isolate for 14 days from Sunday.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps confirmed the news on Twitter this afternoon.
He tweeted: "TRAVEL CORRIDOR UPDATE: We are REMOVING ITALY, Vatican City state & San Marino from the #TravelCorridor list.
"However, note that the implementation date is moved to 4am on SUNDAY 18 October & applies UK wide, if you arrive from these destinations you will need to self-isolate."
Italy recorded its highest daily number of coronavirus cases on Wednesday, with 7,332, which brings its seven-day rate of cases per 100,000 people to 64.
A rate of 20 is the threshold above which the Government considers triggering quarantine conditions.
But Mr Shapps confirmed that a Greek island would be added to the list, meaning that people would no longer have to self isolate when they returned from that destination.
Mr Shapps tweeted: "We are ADDING CRETE to the #TravelCorridor list this week.
Keep up to date with coronavirus cases in your area by adding your postcode below
"From 4am Sunday 18 Oct, if you arrive from Crete, you will NO LONGER need to self-isolate.
"ALSO THIS WEEK, the whole of the UK is now aligned with our advice around all of the Greek islands."
