UK drops advice against non-urgent travel to Malaysia and 31 destinations


"We're striking the right balance between keeping people safe which remains our priority and giving them the freedom to exercise personal responsibility, while supporting the travel sector," foreign minister Liz Truss said.

LONDON: Britain dropped its advice against all but essential travel for 32 countries and territories on Wednesday as it continued to simplify its coronavirus travel regime after progress in fighting COVID-19 across the world.

The change will allow people to travel more easily to destinations such as Malaysia, Algeria and Senegal as many travel insurance firms exclude cover for places where the government advises against travel, the foreign ministry said.
