July 10, 2020 End of the quarantine requirement in force in the UK today for all people arriving or returning from dozens of countries, including Italy. The withdrawal of the measure, the announcement of which had been formalized a week ago by the Ministry of Transport with great relief from the airlines and tourism, puts an end to travelers from a list of countries, indicated at this stage as "low risk" d the import of coronavirus infections, to the mandatory 14-day isolation imposed by the government of Boris Johnson on all visitors - with very limited exceptions for some categories such as diplomats or carriers of essential goods - from June 8th. Penalty fines of a thousand pounds, however, inflicted in reality in recent weeks only in very rare cases. The list of exempted countries of origin, initially 59, has in the meantime increased to 75. However, countries such as the USA, China, Russia, India, Brazil, Canada and, in Europe, Sweden or Portugal, remain excluded and therefore subject to quarantine. . Spain, originally inserted, was cut off only by the local authorities of Scotland - aligned in recent days like Wales and Northern Ireland with the green light of the Johnson government, valid in the initial announcement for England - due to the new outbreaks that have occurred there. While an afterthought has been decided temporarily also for arrivals from Serbia, eventually canceled by the exemption - but for the whole Kingdom - due to similar alarms.
