UK removes Switzerland, Jamaica and Czech Republic from travel corridor list
Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Jamaica are to be removed from the UK’s travel corridor list, meaning arrivals from those countries will have to quarantine for two weeks, it has been confirmed.
The Guardian earlier revealed that ministers in Westminster had agreed to take Switzerland and Jamaica off the safe list amid rising Covid-19 infection rates, and were waiting to see the latest figures for the Czech Republic before making a final call. They have now decided to remove it too. Cuba, where the situation has improved, is being added to the corridor list in the changes, which will come into effect on Saturday at 4am.
The transport secretary, Grant Shapps, confirmed the move in a series of tweets on Thursday, warning that quarantining on arrival from countries not on the corridor list is a legal requirement and that rule-breakers risk being fined and receiving a criminal record.

Meanwhile, it has emerged that plans are under discussion that would enable UK travellers to fly to New York – which currently has lower infection rates than the UK – without having to quarantine on their return from this autumn, according to an industry figure.
Paul Charles, the chief executive of the travel PR firm PC Agency, said he had been told that DfT officials had held discussions with the US Department of Transportation about opening a travel corridor to New York. Charles called the talks of a corridor “positive”, adding: “That is vital, it is one of the busiest areas in the world.”
A spokesperson for the DfT said: “Conversations between governments in other countries on a whole range of issues take place regularly.
“Public health remains the UK’s top priority and we are committed to tackling this virus while enabling a sustainable and responsible return to international travel. We keep the data for all countries and territories under constant review.”
