From 4am Friday 19 March, travel bans will be in place for visitors from:
Ethiopia

All those who are permitted to enter England from these countries, will have to quarantine for 10 days in a managed quarantine hotel.
“Portugal (including Madeira and the Azores) and Mauritius will be removed from England’s red list. The flight and maritime ban from Portugal (including Madeira and the Azores) will also be removed, following evidence that shows the risk of importing a variant of concern from these destinations has reduced,” the transport ministry said.
