UK will review quarantine country list on Thursday

LONDON, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Britain will review a list of
countries affected by quarantine measures, senior minister
Michael Gove said on Thursday, after the country announced plans
for some travellers to have to stay for 10 days in accommodation
such as hotels upon arrival.

Britain announced on Wednesday new measures to reduce travel
in and out of the country, hoping that by tightening its borders
it can reduce the risk of new variants of the coronavirus
spreading and putting its vaccination programme at risk.

"We will be reviewing today how extensive that list of
countries needs to be. We will be guided by advice from our
scientific advisors and we will be reporting back later on where
the line will be drawn," Gove told BBC radio.
