Germany and Sweden removed from travel corridors list
Germany and Sweden have been removed from the Government's list of travel corridors, the Department for Transport has said.
Travellers arriving in the UK from these countries after 4am on Saturday must self-isolate for 14 days.
The impact of the decision is limited due to existing coronavirus lockdown restrictions.
We are removing SWEDEN and GERMANY from the Travel Corridor list. From 4am Saturday 7th November, if you arrive into the UK from these destinations you will need to self-isolate. All arriving passengers should complete a passenger locator form on arrival.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said the quarantine requirement for international arrivals was "critical to the Government's Covid-19 response, keeping imported cases down".
He added that travel outside the home was "not permitted" during England's national lockdown except for "a limited number of reasons including work or education".
