- those arriving from Luxembourg from midnight tonight will need to self-isolate for 2 weeks
- public health is the government's priority and the list of travel corridors will be kept under constant review
People arriving in the UK from Luxembourg from midnight tonight (Thursday, July 30) will need to self-isolate for two weeks as the country is removed from the travel exemptions list.

There has been a consistent increase in COVID-19 cases per 100,000 of the population in Luxembourg since the end of June, with over a tenfold increase in total cases over this time period.
