UK travel restrictions: Are Greece and Turkey on the quarantine list?

Travellers from Czech Republic, Jamaica and Switzerland are the latest additions. Those arriving after 04:00 BST on Saturday will have to self-isolate for two weeks.

Arrivals from Cuba will no longer be required to quarantine, after a fall in the rate of cases there.

In recent weeks, the government in England has announced changes to the quarantine list on Thursdays. These have come into force the following Saturday at 0400.

Quarantine restrictions have been reapplied to several countries:

However, a sustained fall in cases has seen Cuba and Portugal added to the dozens of ''air bridge'' countries UK travellers can visit without having to quarantine on their return.

The decision is generally triggered when 20 or more people out of every 100,000 in a country are infected over seven days. Other factors are also considered.

The Joint Biosecurity Centre (JBS) - set up by the government to monitor coronavirus - advises which countries should be on the quarantine list, and which should be exempt.

It looks at things like:

There have been concerns about coronavirus rates in both Greece and Turkey, which have risen in recent weeks.

As of 26 August, Greece had a seven-day average infection rate of 14.1 cases per 100,000 people, while Turkey's was 11.4.

This puts them below the quarantine threshold of 20 cases, but the government also considers the other factors set out above.

Travellers not self-isolating when they are supposed to can be fined £1,000 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, or £480 in Scotland.

They can be fined up to £3,200 in England if they do not provide accurate contact details, or £1,920 in Wales.

Travellers from countries that pose a "reduced risk" from coronavirus - in the government's eyes - are exempt.

The list includes:

Those entering the UK from the common travel area - the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man - are exempt, as are the 14 British Overseas Territories.

Health measures like quarantine are set by each UK nation separately.

Wales and Northern Ireland have introduced quarantine exemptions for the same countries as England.

Scotland is also allowing exemptions, and has updated its own list of countries with which it is now allowing travel without quarantine.

People entering the UK from most countries have to quarantine.

You must isolate for 14 days if you arrive in the UK from Canada, the US, much of Central and South America, and some countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

Travellers from Sweden, Russia and anywhere else not on the list also have to quarantine.

Further restrictions may also be placed on UK travellers if its infection rate rises.

Travellers leaving the UK could still face restrictions - including quarantine - when they arrive in one of the exempted countries.

About half the countries and territories on the list have restrictions for arriving UK visitors. These include:
