In news just in: The Telegraph reports that South Africa will be removed from the UK Covid-19 red list.

News 24 reports the UK newspaper said that Britain will abolish quarantine for almost all countries, including South Africa.

The UK’s current red list of 54 countries will be slashed to as few as nine.
