Denmark, Slovakia & Iceland have all been removed from the UK’s safe travel corridor list along with the Dutch-Caribbean island of Curacao.

The changes mean that anyone arriving to the UK via an English airport from these countries after 4 am on 26th September will have to self-isolate for 14-days.

The decision to added the countries comes after they passed the UK Governments threshold of 20 cases of Coronavirus per 100,000.

Passengers will need to complete a Passenger Locator Form on entry and failure to do is a criminal offence. You could also be fined up to £1,000 if you do not comply with the requirement to self-isolate.

Scotland has joined England in removing the countries from their safe travel list from 4am on Saturday and it is expected, but not officially announced, that Wales will follow Westminster.
