The UK has banned people travelling from 33 countries from entering its territory starting February 15 to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 variant originally identified in South Africa.
“If you have been in or through any of the countries listed below in the previous 10 days, you will be refused entry to the UK. If you are a British or Irish National, or you have residence rights in the UK, you will be able to enter but you must quarantine in a government approved hotel for 10 days,” reads the UK government circular.
In East Africa, Rwanda, Tanzania and Burundi are among the 'red list travel ban countries'. Other African countries on the list include Angola, Botswana, DR Congo, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
A number of countries have previously protested the UK's travel ban, including Rwanda which was listed late last month. But the UK maintained that the decision was based on recommendations of scientific research.
The UK government said then that Rwanda has limited gene sequencing testing capacity.
“The decision to ban travel from these destinations follows the discovery of a new coronavirus variant, first identified in South Africa, that may have spread to other countries, including the UAE, Burundi and Rwanda. Any exemptions usually in place will not apply, including for business travel,” the UK government said in a statement posted on its website.

Katika kukabiliana na janga la Covid 19 nchi ya Uingereza imechukua hatua ya kuzuia wasafiri kutoka mataifa 33 kuingia katika taifa hili ikiwa pamoja na kuepusha maambukizi mapya kutoka Afrika Kusini.
"Ikiwa umewahi kuingia au kupitia nchi zozote zilizoorodheshwa hapa chini katika siku 10 zilizopita, utakataliwa kuingia Uingereza. Ikiwa wewe ni raia wa Uingereza au Ireland, au una haki za kuishi nchini Uingereza, utaweza kuingia lakini lazima uweke karantini katika hoteli iliyoidhinishwa na serikali kwa siku 10, ”inasoma duara la serikali ya Uingereza.
Kwa upande wa Afrika Mashariki nchi zilizodhibitiwa ni Rwanda, Tanzania na Burundi. Aidha, Nchi zingine za Kiafrika kwenye orodha hiyo ni pamoja na Angola, Botswana, DR Congo, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Msumbiji, Namibia, Afrika Kusini, Zambia na Zimbabwe.
Nchi kadhaa hapo awali zilipinga marufuku ya kusafiri kwa Uingereza, pamoja na Rwanda ambayo iliorodheshwa mwishoni mwa mwezi uliopita. Lakini Uingereza ilishikilia kuwa uamuzi huo ulitokana na mapendekezo ya utafiti wa kisayansi.
