LONDON, April 2 (Reuters) - Britain said on Friday it would
add Bangladesh, Kenya, Pakistan and the Philippines to its
travel "red list", banning entry to people arriving from those
countries unless they are British or Irish nationals.
Those who come to Britain from countries on the red list
will be refused entry, while returning Britons must submit to 10
days of mandatory quarantine in hotels.
From 4 a.m. on April 9, Pakistan, Kenya, the Philippines and
Bangladesh will be put on the list, the government said, joining
about three dozen other nations mainly in Africa, the Middle
East and South America.
There have been calls for the inclusion of some European
countries where COVID-19 cases have surged, but the government
has said it currently has no plans to do so.
