Travel ban on visitors from Denmark

FM Nicola Sturgeon has said a new variant of Covid has been discovered in Denmark, which transferred from the mink farm population to humans.

FM Nicola Sturgeon says the Scottish and UK governments have significantly tightened travel restrictions to and from Denmark.

"There is now a travel ban on visitors from Denmark into any part of the UK, including Scotland."

UK citizens, residents and EU citizens with settled status can re-enter the UK but they must - without exception - self-isolate for 14 days.

Other visitors who have been to Denmark in the last 14 days will not be allowed to enter the UK.
