The Government is exploring all options to allow us to safely increase travel including international travel corridors. In due course more information will be published on the criteria that must be satisfied to lift these public health measures, or to move to a new approach.

From 8 June, all passengers arriving in the UK will be required to self-isolate for 14 days and could be contacted throughout this period to ensure compliance. This applies to all nationalities, including holders of British Nationals (Overseas) Passports and their families.
