Boris Johnson suspends all travel corridors indefinitely
Telegraph, 16 Jan 2021
The Government has suspended all of the UK’s travel corridors over concerns about new Covid variants.
The decision was announced at the daily briefing on Friday evening, just 24 hours after a ban was imposed on travellers from South America and Portugal.
It means all overseas arrivals must now self-isolate for up to 10 days.
While holidays are currently banned under lockdown rules, the move will affect those already abroad, business travellers, as well as expats planning to return to the UK. It also casts serious doubts about the prospects of post-lockdown spring holidays.
