Anyone travelling from tier four areas in England and from Wales to Greater Manchester and the West Midlands is being asked to self-isolate for at least 10 days—with no visitors allowed even on Christmas Day.

Regional public health officials issued the guidance on Monday that travellers from any tier four areas and Wales must act as if they have the new variant of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus when they arrive, starting from Dec. 19.
