The government has confirmed the removal of all the remaining seven countries from the government’s red list for international travel.

It means the requirement for hotel quarantine for those returning from Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Haiti and the Dominican Republic will be removed from 4am on Monday, November 1.

The red list itself, and 10-day hotel quarantine, will both remain as restrictions the government can deploy but there are no longer any countries on the red list. Reviews will continue to take place every three weeks.
