Politics

The United Arab Emirates has been removed from the UK government’s travel corridor list, the transport secretary has said.

It means that anyone arriving from the federation of states, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi, from 4am tomorrow must self-isolate.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said a 52% rise in new coronavirus cases meant the decision had to be taken “immediately”.

A statement from the Department for Transport said: “The decision has been made following a significant acceleration in the number of imported cases, along with the number of reported new cases over the past seven days, which have risen in the UAE by 52%.”
