The United Kingdom has created a green list which allows travellers from 12 low-risk countries to enter without needing to quarantine.
South Africa remains on the red list, which only allows for residents and citizens to return to the UK – with a mandatory ten-day quarantine in a state-managed hotel.
While leisure travel to countries on the amber list is strongly discouraged, returning travellers will be allowed to quarantine at home.
Despite South African travellers being banned, British Airways is set to resume flights to and from London in June, with tickets already on sale.

Israel’s strict new travel rules prohibit citizens from travelling to South Africa and require returning residents to quarantine for two weeks.
This is despite Israel being one of the leaders in the global vaccination race, and recording its lowest level of positive Covid-19 cases since the start of the pandemic.
The new restrictions have also postponed Israel’s tourism programme, which was due to welcome vaccinated visitors into the country towards the end of May.
