Can the Guardian please investigate the rationale behind the Covid travel restrictions relating to “red list” countries? Some of the countries on the red list, such as Kenya, have very low Covid cases and deaths, but are among the world’s poorest and with little influence on government policy. What is the logic behind removing the need for isolation for those travelling to amber list countries (Report, 3 August), yet those visiting some low-risk red list countries are required to pay hefty quarantine bills regardless of their vaccination status? This is because we went to our home in France for the first time in over a year. Furthermore, we have had to buy tests, from a private company based in Europe, to the tune of £360.
