Travelers from Bangladesh will no longer require ten-day hotel quarantine from 22 September. The UK government announced on Friday that it is simplifying its controversial traffic light travel rules and removing mandatory Covid tests for vaccinated travelers returning to England from countries on its safe list. From the end of October, fully vaccinated passengers from non-red list countries will be able to replace day-two PCR tests with cheaper lateral flow tests.

Those unvaccinated will still have to pay for PCR tests. The government has also announced that from 4am on 22 September, eight destinations will be removed from the red list. Turkey, Pakistan, The Maldives,Egypt, Sri Lanka, Oman, Bangladesh, Kenya. The changes will apply to England only.
