"This means that travellers from Qatar arriving in England after this date will no longer be required to complete 10 days isolation in a managed hotel quarantine facility," it was explained in a tweet.
"However, unless travellers have been vaccinated in the UK, the US or the European Union, they will still be required to isolate for 10 days at a private address.
"In England, travellers can opt-in to the test to release scheme and may be able to end their isolation early subject to a negative day five covid-19 test
"Travellers need to book their Covid-19 tests before entering the UK to be taken after arrival. Further details can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/red-amber-and-green-list-rules-for-entering-england
