Croatia faces being removed from the UK’s travel corridor list, with imported Covid-19 infections from the country having been identified, the Guardian understands. Ministers are likely to remove the country from the list after logging a recent surge in coronavirus cases. If Croatia is removed the change could affect thousands of British holidaymakers in the country at the moment. The Guardian has been told that officials at the government’s Joint Biosecurity Centre have flagged specific coronavirus cases imported to the UK from Croatia. However, when France and five other locations were removed from the travel corridor list last week ministers allowed 30 hours’ notice before the measures were imposed on arrivals to the UK, from Saturday at 4am.
