The latest changes were confirmed by the Department for Transport (DfT) on 7 January.
Anyone who has travelled from or through Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Eswatini, Zambia, Malawi, Lesotho, Mozambique and Angola, as well as Mauritius and the Seychelles, in the past 10 days will be barred entry into England.
The ban, however, does not extend to British and Irish nationals, longer-term visa holders and permanent residents, meaning any returning holidaymakers will be able to come home, although they will have to self-isolate for 10 days upon their return to the UK along with the rest of their household.
