A dedicated terminal for passengers arriving in the UK from countries with a high risk of Covid has opened at Heathrow Airport.

Travelers arriving on direct flights from red list nations will now transit through Terminal Three. Heathrow said its top priority was protecting the public and helping reduce the risk of new variants. There are 43 countries on the red list, but direct flights are permitted from only India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Direct flights are also allowed from Kenya, but the country has currently suspended air travel to the UK. Only British and Irish nationals or UK residents are allowed to travel from countries on the list.
