The United Kingdom (UK) says the 11 African countries on its travel red list will be removed effective from 4am tomorrow, December 15.

The countries on the list are Nigeria, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Angola, Mozambique, Lesotho, Malawi, Zambia, Eswatini and Zimbabwe.

The red list was introduced in November following the emergence of the Omicron COVID-19 variant.

Speaking at the UK parliament today, Sajid Javid, UK health secretary, said the Omicron variant “has spread so widely across the world,” hence the travel red list is now “less effective”.
