Belgium has been added to Wales' coronavirus quarantine list alongside the Bahamas and Andorra, after a spike in cases in the affected regions

Belgium, the Bahamas and Andorra have been added to Wales' coronavirus quarantine list, after a spike in cases in the affected countries.

But the Welsh government will now make travellers from Brunei and Malaysia exempt from quarantine measures at its border after cases in the two nations decreased. The move comes after a meeting of all four UK countries to consider the public health risk from increasing COVID-19 cases in the affected areas.

The changes will come into force from midnight on Friday, and mean anyone arriving in Wales from Andorra, the Bahamas or Belgium or anyone who has been in those countries in the last 14 days will be required to isolate for two weeks.England, Scotland and Northern Ireland have not yet said if they will bring in similar measures against travellers coming in from those countries.

Belgium has suffered a consistent rise in cases in recent weeks, rising to 27.8 new cases per 100,000 people, new figures show.
