Travellers from Israel will still have to self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival to the England after the country was left off the government’s listed of ‘’approved’’ destinations that have been exempted from quarantine.

The Department for Transport (DfT) has confirmed  that arrivals from more than 50 countries including France, Spain, Germany and Italy will no longer need to quarantine from 10 July.

But Israel - along with other countries including the United States and Sweden - was left off this list as its coronavirus cases continue to rise.

The new exemptions mean people arriving from selected countries will be able to enter England without needing to self-isolate, unless they have been in or travelled through non-exempt countries in the preceding 14 days.
