COVID-19: Foreign Office relaxes advice for UK travellers to 51 destinations

On Monday, the traffic light system - related to inbound travel to the UK - was dropped in favour of just one red list.

The red list was then reduced to just seven countries on Thursday, with 47 destinations coming off the red list from Monday.'We want to change travel tests by half term'The Bahamas, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Jamaica, Martinique, Palau, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Western Sahara.

"I am delighted that the safe reopening of travel allows people to exercise personal responsibility and visit more destinations across the globe." The government has said the advice will be reintroduced or not lifted in"exceptional circumstances", such as if the local healthcare system is overloaded by a domestic COVID outbreak.

Some countries and territories will continue to carry the advice to not travel there apart from essential travel, but it will be because of other circumstances such as instability, not COVID.
