Turkey and Poland removed from travel corridors and added to quarantine list

Turkey, Poland, Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba are the latest countries to be removed from the UK's travel corridor list, following concerns over rising numbers of coronavirus cases in these destinations.

In addition, Brits who are returning from these countries after 4am on Saturday 3rd October will be required to quarantine for 14 days.

Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps took to Twitter to announce the latest changes.

He tweeted: "TRAVEL CORRIDOR UPDATE: The latest data indicates we need to remove Turkey, Poland, and Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba from the #TravelCorridor list this week.

"This means if you arrive from these destinations from 4am Saturday 3 October, you will need to self-isolate".

If you've got a holiday booked to these destinations, we have a fuller guide explaining what happens now, as the Foreign Office is changing its travel advice. The guide also includes your rights to getting your money back in this circumstance.

The silver lining is that there are still some countries where Brits won't need to quarantine after a holiday.

For example, holiday hotspots such as mainland Greece and Italy continue to be open for Brits.

However, with travel restrictions quickly changing during the pandemic, no matter where you are looking to travel you should check the latest FCDO advice for your destination. This includes before you plan, book or go on a trip.
