UK adds more countries to its Quarantine list
- The UK FCO Updates its travel advice: France, Netherlands and others will require quarantine on return to the UK – If you’re reading this now, you’re in France and are returning or planning to visit the UK, add a 14-day self-isolation when you enter the country.

Next Week
The world continues to be in flux, with threats of a local lockdown where I am in the offing, governments randomly putting up new quarantine blocks and so on. However, airlines are starting to gear up for more routes and network launches.
As time goes on, I’ll continue to report on them.
Until then – stay safe.
