A full list of the countries exempt from England's coronavirus travel quarantine has been released by the government
It is Downing Street's"expectation" that a number of exempted countries will also not require arrivals from the UK to self-isolate.
Officials"continue to work closely with international partners around the world to discuss arrangements for travellers arriving from the UK," the government has said.Australia and New Zealand are open only to their own citizens or permanent residents, for example. Vietnam, is only open to Vietnamese nationals, foreigners on diplomatic or official business, and highly skilled workers.
Shadow transport secretary Jim McMahon said:"Labour, like families and businesses up and down the country, are keen for the government's quarantine measures to be lessened, but this is a mess."Now we see a plan to let residents of 60 or more countries into England without any reciprocal arrangements."
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will"set out their own approach" to exemptions, the Department for Transport has said.
