The UK government has removed Nigeria and 10 other countries from a red list in the wake of the new Omicron variant of the COVID-19.  The red list was reintroduced in late November as a precaution after the emergence of the Omicron variant. The ministers however have cited the further spread of the variant as a reason for reviewing travel rules. All UK arrivals from red list countries must take COVID tests within 48 hours of setting off for the UK and PCR tests within two days of their arrival.
