Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department made of the number of new daily covid-19 cases recorded in Estonia as part of its decision to exclude it as a country with an agreed airbridge with the UK.

Decisions on the Travel Corridor list have been informed by a risk assessment developed by the Joint Biosecurity Centre, in close consultation with Public Health England and the Chief Medical Officer.

The Government keeps the data for all countries and territories under constant review and updates the exemptions list with any changes on a regular basis as and when required to reflect the shifting international health picture.

The Government added Estonia to the Travel Corridor list on 28 July.
