Belgium, Bahamas and Andorra taken off travel corridor list
The UK government has advised against all but essential travel to Andorra, Belgium and the Bahamas, while the destinations have also been taken off the government’s ‘travel corridor’ list.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said anyone arriving from one of the three destinations from 04:00 on 8 August will have to self-isolate for 14 days.
Brunei and Malaysia have been added to the government’s travel corridor list following a decrease in confirmed cases of coronavirus.
From 04:00 on Tuesday 11 August 2020, passengers arriving to England from these destinations will no longer need to self-isolate, so long as they haven’t been in or transited through any other non-exempt countries in the 14 days preceding their arrival.

Meanwhile, Chancellor Rishi Sunak has warned the government won’t hesitate to remove more countries from its travel corridor list if coronavirus rates rise.
There are concerns France could be next to be removed from the ‘safe list’ after it recorded its highest number of Covid-19 cases in over two months.
