United Arab Emirates Removed From England And Scotland Travel Corridors

Of the four countries that comprise the United Kingdom, three – England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland – are removing the United Arab Emirates from their travel corridors list effective January 12th. This means travelers from cities like Dubai will be required to self-isolate for 10 days upon landing. At this time, Wales has decided to leave the UAE on its exempt-from-quarantine list, while Scotland is removing Dubai but not other Emirates.

The complicated situation
With the change announced as early as January 10th and as late as January 11th, arrivals from the UAE are no longer exempt from quarantine-upon-arrival and must self-isolate for 10 days starting today – or yesterday for arrivals to Scotland from Dubai.
