answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2020 answer text <p>The Government takes a range of factors into account when deciding which countries to add or remove from the Travel Corridor list. This includes:</p><p> </p><ul><li>an estimate of the proportion of the population that is currently infectious in each country</li><li>virus incidence rates and rates of change</li><li>trends in incidence and deaths</li><li>transmission status and international epidemic intelligence</li><li>information on a country’s testing capacity, testing regime and test positivity rate</li><li>an assessment of the quality of the data available</li><li>effectiveness of measures being deployed by a country</li><li>volume of travel between the UK and that country</li></ul><p>​</p><p>We recognise how important travel and tourism is for the Maldives. However, inbound travel from the Maldives presents a high risk to the UK given continued elevated incidence of COVID-19 indicating community transmission of the virus. The Government keeps the list of travel corridors under constant review. We will make further exemptions when we are sure that we can do so safely and responsibly.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 08/09/2020 12:15:03 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
