As it happened: India on UK travel red list amid variant concerns - BBC News
Travellers from India are banned from Friday apart from UK and Irish residents, who must quarantine in hotels.
India is being added to the red list of countries from which travel is banned, we heard in the House of Commons this afternoon.

It means Britons arriving from India will have to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days when they get back. Anyone who is not a UK or Irish resident or a British citizen will be banned from entering if they have been in India in the previous 10 days.

But is that new rule for England, or is it the whole of the UK?

Well, technically, as public health is determined by individual nations, it only concerns England.

As there are no international flights into Wales or Northern Ireland however, they tend to fall into line with England's decisions. And there are no quarantine hotels in Wales or Northern Ireland either.

Scotland currently requires hotel quarantine for all international arrivals at the moment anyway, so today's announcement makes no difference to anyone landing there.

Here's an explainer on which countries are currently on the red list and exactly what it means for travellers.
