The UK Government has confirmed that Pakistan, Bangladesh, Philippines and Kenya will be added to its red list of countries from 0400 BST on Friday 9 April 2021.
This means that if you have been in or through Pakistan, Bangladesh, Philippines and Kenya in the previous 10 days, you will be refused entry to the UK.
However, if you are a British or Irish National, or you have residence rights in the UK, you will be able to enter the UK, but you must quarantine in a government approved hotel for 10 days.
However, UK Government has confirmed that direct passenger flights for essential trips between Heathrow and Pakistan can continue to operate after the country is designated on the red list.
