Britain will end coronavirus quarantines for people arriving in England from more than 50 countries, including Germany, France, Spain and Italy - but not the United States - the government said on Friday. Those arriving from higher risk countries will still have to self-quarantine for 14 days under a rule which has angered airlines and travel companies. As the spread of the novel coronavirus slows in Europe, countries are reopening travel after more than three months of lockdown. The government said it expected countries included on the quarantine-free list to reciprocate by relaxing their own restrictions. England and Northern Ireland will reopen pubs this weekend, and Scotland and Wales are expected to follow later in July.
