UK expected to be on EU’s Covid ‘white list’ of tourists allowed entry Daniel Boffey and Jessica Elgot © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: John Sibley/Reuters Britain is expected to be put on a “white list” of countries from where tourists will be accepted into the EU, but holidaymakers may still be required by cautious governments to quarantine and take Covid-19 tests. The successful vaccination programme in the UK and limited level of infection will probably allow EU member states to add Britain to an extended list of countries from where tourists will be permitted on Friday. As it stands, only Australia, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand are on the list from which non-essential travel is permitted into the EU but the threshold is being lowered and the UK will easily meet the criteria.
