UK moves Switzerland to Green List

Friday, 27 August 2021 04:54

The British government says Switzerland will move to its Green List for travellers arriving in the UK from 5am on Monday.

This means that incoming passengers will not need to quarantine on arrival. But will still need to test negatively before travelling and will have to take a test 2 days after arriving. 

In practical terms – there’s no difference to the rules for those who are fully vaccinated as they were already exempt quarantine requirements. 

France remains on the Amber List, so anyone who’s been in France at any time in the last 10 days before travel will fall under those rules.
