The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Seven Greek islands axed as Government announces new quarantine policy” – below is their description.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has given backing to regional ‘travel corridors’, which will see country-wide quarantine rules axed in favour of more localised restrictions. However, as part of the new rules, seven Greek islands have been dropped from England’s quarantine-free list. From 4am on September 9, travellers returning from the Greek islands of Lesvos, Tinos, Serifos, Mykonos, Crete, Santorini and Zakynthos (Zante) must quarantine for 14 days. Mainland Greece will retain its travel corridor with the UK. The decision comes after Wales removed six Greek islands from its quarantine-free list last week. Adding to the confusion, however, two islands ditched by Wales (Paros and Antiparos) have not been ditched by England, while the loss of Santorini, Tinos and Serifos is exclusive to England.
