Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Jamaica are to be removed from the UK’s travel corridor list, meaning arrivals from those countries will have to quarantine for two weeks, it has been confirmed. Cuba, where the situation has improved, is being added to the corridor list in the changes, which will come into effect on Saturday at 4am. Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP (@grantshapps) Data shows we need to remove the Czech Republic, Jamaica and Switzerland from our list of #Coronavirus Travel Corridors to keep infection rates DOWN. The Foreign Office has updated its travel advice to advise against all but essential travel to Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Jamaica. Scotland, which along with the other devolved nations has autonomy over quarantine measures and moved to remove Switzerland from its list last week, is also removing the Czech Republic and Jamaica and adding Cuba.
