Covid-19: vaccines administered in Angola recognized by the UK

Vaccines against covid-19 administered in Angola will be recognized by the United Kingdom from Monday, when the British government will eliminate the so-called “red list” of international travel.

British Transport Minister Grant Shapps confirmed in writing to parliament that Angola is one of 31 countries and territories whose passengers will be able to avoid quarantine and additional tests on travel to the country.

Currently, Portugal and Brazil are the only Portuguese-speaking countries among more than 135 countries and territories in the world whose vaccination against the new coronavirus is recognized by the British authorities, leaving out Cape Verde, Mozambique, Guinea Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe and Timor-Leste.

Passengers who are not vaccinated, are only partially vaccinated or do not have recognized vaccines are required to submit pre-departure tests, take tests on the second and eighth day after arrival and comply with a 10-day quarantine, which can be at the residence or another location to choose from.

Shapps also announced the departure of the seven countries that still remained on the "red list" of international travel, namely Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Haiti, Panama, Peru and Venezuela.

Travelers to those destinations were subject to a 10-day quarantine at a designated hotel at a cost of £2285 (2700 euros) plus tests on the second and eighth days.

The Delta variant is now "dominant in most countries around the world" and the minister justified that "this means that the risk of known variants entering the UK has been reduced and the Government can safely remove these seven destinations from the red list ".

However, the Government does not exclude reactivating the "red list" if the pandemic worsens.

The UK has recorded 165 deaths and 39,842 deaths from covid-19 in the last 24 hours, with 140,206 deaths totaling since the start of the pandemic, the highest number in Europe.
