As the second summer of the coronavirus pandemic approaches, international travel has finally resumed, but not as it was before. Travel rules vary depending on which country you visit and will dictate whether you have to quarantine on your return home to the UK.
The government considers a number of factors when deciding which countries should appear on which list. The factors for consideration include: infection rates, testing rates, positivity rates, rates of variants of concern or variants under investigation , ability to test for variants , and travel links with countries linked to VOCs or VUIs. Vaccination rates are also taken into consideration.
