South Africa, Thailand, Mexico and the Seychelles are among 47 countries being taken off England and Wales' travel red list as it is slashed to just seven

Mr Shapps added that later this month, fully vaccinated travellers from approved countries will be able to take a lateral flow test on day two after arriving, instead of a pricey PCR test, and they will be able to send a picture of their test to verify the result.Passengers who are fully vaccinated in countries not on the approved list will still have to take a pre-departure test, a day two and eight test and complete 10 days self-isolation, with the option of test to release on day five.

Scotland and Northern Ireland have not announced if they will follow suit, but they often have throughout the pandemic.Mr Shapps said:"With half-term and winter sun around the corner, we're making it easier for families and loved ones to reunite, by significantly cutting the number of destinations on the red list, thanks in part to the increased vaccination efforts around the globe.

Fully vaccinated travellers arriving from non-red list countries no longer need to take a pre-departure test before arriving in England.
