The United Kingdom has included Nigeria in its red list, as the European nation tightens travel restrictions in an effort to stem the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
The UK Government’s travel advice on Nigeria stated, “From 04:00 on Monday, 6 December, Nigeria will be added to the red list for entering England.”
Visitors from red-listed countries must undergo a COVID-19 test three days prior to travel, buy a quarantine lodging package that includes two COVID-19 tests, and fill out a passenger locator form.
