Britain will scrap tough Covid-19 quarantine requirements for 47 destinations including Thailand on Monday.

"Thailand will no longer be on the red list for entering England. Check what you must do to travel abroad and return to England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland," the Transport Ministry said on its website.

Many countries with high infection levels had been on the red list, requiring arrivals to spend 10 days in quarantine, while the need for a PCR test and other tests often cost more than the flight itself.

On Thursday, the UK Transport Minister said he would remove 47 destinations from the red list. The destinations included Thailand.

Seven countries will stay on the list, including Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela.
