UK Eases Quarantine Rules for Some Countries
The delayed review of the UK's contentious quarantine policy eases requirements for 59 countries, but not for travelers from the U.S. and many others.

From July 10, the UK government will lift the requirement to remain under a 14-day quarantine at a fixed address for travelers arriving from a list of 59 countries published on Friday. Notably, the list does not include the U.S., Brazil, Russia, and India–all of which now have significantly higher rates of Covid-19 infection than the UK. However, the quarantine will also remain in place for many countries that do have lower rates of infection, including China, the United Arab Emirates, some European countries, including Portugal and Sweden, and the whole of Africa and South America.
