The FCDO is alert to lessons learned, including those highlighted by the FAC report, and has continued to update travel advice with tailored information as the coronavirus pandemic has affected travellers overseas. Each country page now has information specific to the challenges faced by travellers due to coronavirus such as the impacts to international and domestic travel, changes to entry requirements and quarantine rules. Where possible, we also provide British nationals with information on local restrictions in country and advice on how British people can comply with the rules.

We keep all of our travel advice under constant review and update it regularly. We encourage British nationals to monitor our travel advice when planning their trip.
