Travel: UK to ban flights from Brazil says expert<\/h3>\n

Portugal has become one of the latest nations to face a travel ban due to concerns over the new variant of COVID-19 which has been detected in Brazil. Due o the nations “strong travel links” with South America travel between the UK and Portugal is to be suspended.<\/p>\n

In a tweet, Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps announced: “Travel from PORTUGAL to the UK will also be suspended given its strong travel links with Brazil – acting as another way to reduce the risk of importing infections.<\/p>\n

“However, there is an exemption for hauliers travelling from Portugal (only), to allow transport of essential goods.”<\/p>\n

The new rule does not apply to British and Irish Nationals or third part country nationals who have UK residency rights.<\/p>\n

However, they will face strict quarantine rules.<\/p>\n

Mr Shapps added: “Passengers returning from these destinations must self-isolate for TEN DAYS along with their households.”<\/p>\n
