Travel Corridors
The Coronavirus regulations have required traveller to provide their information (pre-arrival) and to self-isolate since 8 June 2020. In addition to the previous exemptions, the UK government has also announced a travel corridor list. Travellers who have spent at least 14 days in any of these countries are no longer required to self-isolate, if arriving in England (different rules apply for Scotland(. However, they must still complete the travel locator form and provide their details upon arrival.
Travellers who arrived before 10 July 2020 must continue to self-isolate for 14 days.
Transit: If the traveller makes a transit stop in a non-exempt country, they are still required to self-isolate if:
- New passengers get on the plane
- The travellers get off the plane in the transit country and re-embark.
