The United Kingdom has lifted a travel ban on Bangladesh and 31 other countries.
The travel is expected to be lifted for more countries in the coming days, reports Sky News.
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said the change means people will be able to travel to a larger number of destinations with greater ease, adds NDTV.
The update comes as part of what the British government has described as a "simplified system" for international travel, which has seen the replacement of the traffic light system with a single red list, and reduced testing requirements for eligible fully vaccinated travellers.
However, the government may reintroduce the rules in "exceptional circumstances" such as if local healthcare is being overwhelmed by a domestic Covid outbreak.
Algeria; Armenia; Belarus; Benin; Comoros; Tokelau and Niue; Djibouti; Equatorial Guinea; Fiji; The Gambia; Guinea; Kazakhstan; Kiribati; Kosovo; Liberia; Madagascar; Malaysia; Marshall Islands; Micronesia; Nauru; Sao Tome and Principe; Senegal; Solomon Islands; Togo; Tonga; Tuvalu; Vanuatu; Congo; American Samoa; French Polynesia; and Ghana are among the other countries and territories the UK Foreign Office lifted the travel ban on.
Anybody planning to travel overseas should check gov.uk and local advice for entry requirements, including vaccination requirements.
