(ANSA) - LONDON, JUL 10 - End of the forty-year obligation in force in the United Kingdom from today for all people arriving or returning from dozens of countries, including Italy. The revocation of the measure, the announcement of which had been formalized a week ago by the Ministry of Transport with great relief from the airlines and tourism, puts an end to travelers from a list of countries, indicated at this stage as "low-risk" for the import of infections from coronavirus, to the mandatory 14-day isolation imposed by the government of Boris Johnson on all visitors - except for very limited exceptions for some categories such as diplomats or carriers of essential goods - from 8 June. Penalty fines from millesterline, however imposed in reality in these weeks only in very rare cases.
In the meantime, the list of exempted countries of origin59 has grown to 75. However, countries such as the USA, China, Russia, India, Brazil, Canada and, in Europe, Sweden or Portugal, are therefore excluded and therefore subject to quarantine. Spain, originally inserted, has been cut off from the local authorities of Scotland - aligned in these alpine days of Wales and Northern Ireland with the go-ahead of the Johnson government, valid in the initial announcement for England - because of the new outbreaks there are registered. While an afterthought has been decided temporarily also for the shivers from Serbia, eventually canceled by the exemption - but for the whole Kingdom - due to similar alarms. (HANDLE).
