Turkey could be the next country to be added to the UK’s quarantine list, after a rise in coronavirus cases.
France, Portugal and seven Greek islands have been removed from the safe travel list in the past few weeks as they record increases in cases, meaning anyone arriving home from those countries will now have to self-isolate for two weeks.
There are fears Turkey could soon suffer the same fate.

As part of its efforts to limit the spread of coronavirus, the Turkish government has imposed curfews. These have been time-limited, or aimed at particular age groups. These can be imposed at short notice and you should stay in touch with local developments.
