We have a duty both to protect our borders and prevent loss of life. That\u2019s why we are doing everything we can to stop these dangerous Channel crossings and bring to justice the criminals behind this evil trade.<\/p>

The National Crime Agency, Immigration Enforcement, Border Force and UK Police are working closely with French authorities to stop ruthless criminals who facilitate the crossings, putting lives at risk.

The list of travellers exempt from quarantine can be found here (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-travellers-exempt-from-uk-border-rules/coronavirus-covid-19-travellers-exempt-from-uk-border-rules).<\/p>

<\/p>

Passengers arriving from exempt countries and territories no longer need to self-isolate when entering England from 10th<\/sup> July.<\/p>

<\/p>

Travellers will need to self-isolate if they visited or made a transit stop (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-travel-corridors#transit-stops) in a country that is not on the list in the 14 days before they arrive in England.<\/p>

<\/p>

Public health remains our top priority, and we will not hesitate to remove countries and territories from the list if the health risks are seen to increase.<\/p>
