<p>Direct flight bans apply to most countries on the ‘Red List’, and operators must
only deliver passengers who have travelled indirectly from a ‘Red List’ country in
the previous 10 days to a designated port.</p><p> </p><p>Passengers who have been
in a country or territory on the red list in the 10 days prior to their arrival will
only be allowed to enter the UK if they are a British or Irish National, or have residence
rights in the UK. Alongside the requirements to take a pre-departure test and complete
the Passenger Locator Form, most people who are allowed to enter England from a country
on the red list will be required to quarantine for 10 days in a government-approved
managed quarantine hotel with Covid-19 tests on days 2 and 8.</p><p> </p><p>Direct
flight bans were not introduced for countries added to the ‘Red List’ on 9 and 23
April, which had regular scheduled services to England (Pakistan, Bangladesh and India),
on a trial basis. Passengers on direct flights were still subject to measures such
as quarantine in a government-approved managed quarantine hotel.</p><p> </p><p>We
continually assess the data to understand the efficacy of measures such as managed
hotel quarantine, entry bans and testing to ensure public health is protected.</p>
