VisitEngland has shared two significant updates for the tourism industry made by the Government, one regarding the resumption of the easement of restrictions from 15 August, the other regarding the introduction of 14-day quarantine for people travelling from a number of markets, including France and the Netherlands, from 04.00 BST on Saturday 15 August.
Some of the remaining aspects of England’s culture, sport, leisure and business sectors will be permitted to reopen from Saturday in England – except for specific areas where local restrictions are in place, as follows:
At the same time, the Government has announced a series of tough new enforcement measures targeting the most serious breaches of social distancing restrictions, including significantly increasing fines in the coming weeks for repeatedly not wearing face coverings where mandated. All staff offering close contact services, including hairdressers, are now required to wear a face mask (type 2 surgical), in addition to a clear visor that covers the face.
Updates to travel corridors
The Government has announced that people arriving in England from France, the Netherlands, Monaco, Malta, Turks and Caicos Islands and Aruba from 4:00am Saturday 15 August will need to self-isolate for 2 weeks as the countries are removed from the travel exemptions list.
All travellers, including those from exempt destinations, will still be required to show a completed passenger locator form on arrival into the UK unless they fall into a small group of exemptions.
