By Tunde Olorungbotemi

A full list of the countries that have been exempted from the coronavirus travel quarantine has been released by the government.


According to reports, people returning to or visiting England from around 70 countries and overseas territories deemed to have low rates of coronavirus will not need to self-isolate.











Meanwhile, fourteen British Overseas Territories are also included.


Among the countries not on the list are;
United States, Portugal, Sweden, Mexico, Brazil, Russia, Iran, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, China and Taiwan.










The exemptions will apply from 10 July.


The Department for Transport said the approved destinations pose "a reduced risk to the public health of UK citizens", but the list will be kept "under constant review".


It has indicated that reciprocal arrangements between England and overseas nations have not been confirmed.










A number of exempted countries will also not require arrivals from the UK to self-isolate.


Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will "set out their own approach" to exemptions, the Department for Transport has said.


The first ministers of Wales and Scotland have criticised the UK government's "shambolic" handling of its coronavirus travel quarantine.
