Bangladesh in UK’s Red List

Adarshabarta Desk :

The Philippines, Pakistan, Kenya and Bangladesh are being added to England’s “red list” to protect the country against new variants of coronavirus, the UK government says.

It means a travel ban on visitors from these countries will come into force next Friday (9 April).

British, Irish and third-country nationals with residence rights arriving from these countries will be required to self-isolate in a government-approved hotel for 10 days.

The Department for Transport says the move follows new data showing an increased risk of importation of variants of concern.
