The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office still advises against all unnecessary travel overseas to the majority of countries (exemptions to this can be found below), and are working around the clock to support British travellers who are finding difficulties getting back to the UK. If you are a permanent resident overseas, you should stay and follow the advice of the local authorities in the country you live in.
If your travel it essential, it is your responsibility to make sure you check travel advice before travelling. Use the link above to check advice and sign up for email alerts. You should:

- Check with your airline, tour operator, cruise line, or other transport and accommodation providers for any coronavirus-related changes.
- Plan ahead for any potential disruption.
- If you are older, or have pre-existing medical conditions, you are likely to become severely ill if you catch coronavirus. You should check NHS guidance before travelling.
When people enter the UK from any of these countries, they will be asked to supply their contact details and details of their accommodation, and to self-isolate in their accommodation for 14 days.

This list can be found on the FCDO website and is updated regularly.
