UK removes South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe etc. from the travel red list

According to the Secretary of State for Transport, Grant Shapps, the Government of the United Kingdom is set to remove all eleven countries from the travel red list as of 15 December 2021 at 04:00.

The list, which was reintroduced in late November 2021 as a precaution after the emergence of the Omicron variant, currently includes South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Eswatini, Lesotho, Angola as well as Nigeria.

The UK Government has announced that because the spread of Omicron has been so wide, there is no need for any countries to be included on the red list at the moment.
