Coronavirus: UK puts US on travel ban list due to COVID-19 surge - Business Insider - Business Insider

Boris Johnson's government published the list of approved countries today (Friday, July 3.).

It includes the UK's European neighbours France, Spain, Germany, and Italy, as well as other countries where the UK government has deemed it is safe for Brits to visit like New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and Turkey.

The UK government has divided the approved list of countries into "green" and "amber," depending on the level of risk associated with COVID-19, according to multiple reports.

While most European countries have suppressed the coronavirus thanks to stringent national lockdowns lasting several weeks, the virus continues to spread in the US after the Trump administration started to re-open the economy at the beginning of May.
