LONDON (Reuters) – Portugal has been added to the list of countries from which travellers must quarantine when entering England to try to curb the spread of the coronavirus, British transport minister Grant Shapps said on Thursday.
Anybody arriving in England from Portugal, excluding the Azores and Madeira, after 4 am on Saturday will need to self-isolate for 14 days, he said on Twitter.
Hungary, French Polynesia and Reunion have also been removed from England’s Travel Corridor, or safe travel, list, Shapps said, while Sweden has been added to the safe list.
