The FCDO said it will no longer advise against travel to non-red list countries on Covid-19 grounds, except "in exceptional circumstances", such as if the local healthcare system is overwhelmed.

But it will continue to advise against all but essential travel for all red list countries and territories where the risk to UK travellers is judged to be “unacceptably high”. 

The full list of countries to have non-essential advice lifted against travel on Covid-19 grounds:

Algeria

America Samoa

Armenia

Bangladesh

Belarus

Benin

Comoros

Congo

Djibouti

Equatorial Guinea

Fiji

French Polynesia
