Chinanews, October 9th. According to a report by British Sky TV, British Transport Secretary Grant Sharps said that with the gradual reduction of new crown cases, five Greek islands have been removed from the quarantine list by the British government from 4 am local time on the 10th. .
According to reports, tourists arriving in the UK from the Greek islands of Lesbos, Santorini, Serifos, Tinos and Zakynthos (also known as Zakynthos) will no longer need to self-isolate 14 days.
This loose measure will apply to people arriving in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, but Scotland has not yet confirmed whether it will follow suit.
In an attempt to help tourists and the tourism industry, Sharps set up a task force earlier this week to develop a new coronavirus detection system for travelers arriving in the UK to reduce the isolation time for those who test negative.
On the other hand, Italy has imposed compulsory testing for the new coronavirus on British tourists.
Italy’s Health Minister Roberto Speranza announced that travelers from European countries such as the United Kingdom, France and Spain must provide proof that they have tested negative for COVID-19 within 72 hours before travel.
The British warned travelers to Italy: "The period of isolation may vary from a few days to a few weeks. Travelers should be prepared for this possible situation.
