Travel from the Philippines, Pakistan, Kenya and Bangladesh is to be banned from next week, the government says.
From 04:00 on 9 April, international visitors who have travelled from or through those countries in the previous 10 days will be refused entry.But they must first pay toDuring their stay, passengers will have to take two coronavirus tests - but a negative test result does not mean they can shorten their time in quarantine.
The Department for Transport said information about exemptions for nurses arriving from the Philippines "who are critical to supporting the NHS during Covid and the recovery" would be set out before Friday.Travel bans are intended to reduce the risk from new coronavirus variants like the South Africa strain, the Department for Transport said. They are based on advice from the Joint Biosecurity Centre.
No direct flight bans from the four countries will be put in place, but passengers are advised to check their travel plans before departing for England.

This ban defies credibility. The non red listed countries such as France, Germany & bulk of Europe have COVID infections far worse than the 4 red listed countries.Blatant British racism on displayIrony is that the recent rise in infections in Pak is the result of UK travellers.
Why is India not added to red list? India is by far the most worst covid impacted country in the region. India has the highest no. of cases and deaths and covid is completely out of control. Does it mean UKGovernment decision is politically driven? AddIndiaToRedList
About fcking time but why the wait...
7 days time! Wait for the figures to start rising in 3 weeks with new variants! Act fast and firm, do it now and put the whole of Europe on the list!!!
Try telling them coming via a dinghy!!!!!
why is pakistan with 4000 cases being put in red list but France, Germany and Italy where there is 20 000 positive cases still allowing flights?
The Danger is that 3rd world countries will not report it properly by not having the means or on purpose to keep popularity & economy going...it only took a couple of tourist to spread what we have now
It’s about time, should have happened years ago.
But why the wait until next Friday?
Now，one bitcoin mining consumes 250000KWH power. The only use of Bitcoin is illegal transaction. Bitcoin is accelerating the already-accelerating global warming. If we don’t take immediate actions，in 2050，global temperature will devastatingly rise above 2.7°C.
Strange France is not in the list but the Pakistani government and military have lied about the number of cases in the country from day one. They’ve even arrested journalists reporting on quarantine centres.
