The UK will place SA temporarily back under red list travel restrictions after scientists raised the alarm over the new Covid-19 variant.
Britain announced it was temporarily banning flights from SA and five other countries from midday on Friday and returning British travellers from those destinations would have to quarantine. It has mutations that are likely to evade the immune response generated both by prior infection and vaccination, and also mutations associated with increased infectivity.
One would like to know what are the requirements or are there any restrictions 🧐for those travelling from the UK to SA during this festive season⁉️🙄
