More details below

1/

All country data for

Africa
Asia
Europe
Americas

Oceania not included, no data other than Australia/NZ already in main dataset.

NB - Especially in Africa some countries do very little testing so case numbers unreliable.

2/

Europe continues to improve a week after the Easter break in most of the region, next update will have no countries over 1000 level

Turkey remains the biggest problem with alarming case growth

Most other countries now fairly stable or falling, Croatia is another exception.

3/

Situation outside Europe still mixed

Brazil& #39;s dropping a little now

USA slowly increasing again, Canada more so

Seychelles has decent falls now will no longer head the table next time. Maldives still up.

UAE remains on a high plateau, Qatar still rising now far above it

4/

UK restrictions remain until at least 17th May:

- Declaration before travel from UK to ensure you have legal reason.
- Test before travel to UK
- Passenger Locator Form
- Isolation/Quarantine for all arrivals except Ireland
- Over Priced Tests after arrival

Friday& #39;s Travel Task Force thoughts on this thread - https://twitter.com/EvilDoctorK/status/1380472277330968576?s=20

Probably">https://twitter.com/EvilDocto... no more substantive updates until early May when https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚦" title="Vertikale Verkehrsampel" aria-label="Emoji: Vertikale Verkehrsampel">classification will be announced along with confirmation of date of travel resumption.

6/

It sill looks as though travel will reopen on May 17th and this means

- No Travel Ban, everyone is free to leave to anywhere
-https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚦" title="Vertikale Verkehrsampel" aria-label="Emoji: Vertikale Verkehrsampel">as outlined in the report applies on the return to the UK

If you are okay with home isolation and testing then you& #39;ll have a lot of choices.

7/

(Speculation)

Travel will restart on May 17th andhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🟩" title="Grünes Quadrat" aria-label="Emoji: Grünes Quadrat">list countries will be a short list at the start.

Most places onhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🟥" title="Rotes Quadrat" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Quadrat">will remain so, but some ( UAE & Qatar at first ?) might escape tohttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🟨" title="Gelbes Quadrat" aria-label="Emoji: Gelbes Quadrat"> status.

Everywhere else globally will be https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🟨" title="Gelbes Quadrat" aria-label="Emoji: Gelbes Quadrat">

8/

(More Speculation)

At biggest risk at the moment of being added to the https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🟥" title="Rotes Quadrat" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Quadrat">list are:

Turkey
India

Both have huge outbreaks and if there& #39;s any extra concern over & #39;variants& #39; then they could be added.. not a certainly , but it& #39;s a risk right now for both.

9/

For Ireland restrictions remain

- Test before travel to Ireland
- Passenger Locator Form
- Hotel Quarantine for growing list of arrivals
- Isolation for all other arrivals.

The future outlook for travel to/from Ireland is much bleaker than the UK unfortunately

10/

In Ireland& #39;s Hotel Quarantine scheme it& #39;s getting pretty messy .. Israeli arrivals and professional sports players are now exempt.

In good news apparently we can& #39;t & #39;add the whole world& #39; to quarantine ( though clearly some would like this option )

11/">https://www.irishtimes.com/news/irel...

Common Travel Areal from Britain to Ireland is unrestricted from Britain, but entry into Ireland remains highly restricted

Given very low rates in Britain and the already open border with N. Ireland it would make a lot of sense to remove restrictions for British arrivals.

12/

Let& #39;s hope travel opens up soon, get vaccinated when you can to help this.

Remember it& #39;s not only holidays.
