The continued need for travellers to quarantine on arrival in England, Scotland and Wales is criticised.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the government had always been clear that it would take "rapid action" to stop the spread of Covid.
Travellers told the BBC they were frustrated by the inconsistent rules, while some said it was making it hard to visit family members abroad.James Miles from West Sussex said the quarantine requirement had put his plan to visit his girlfriend for the first time since 1 January in jeopardy."Seven months is a long time not to see your partner. I can't even see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The government announcement means that anyone who has been in France in the previous 10 days will need to quarantine on arrival to England in their own accommodation and will need a day two and day eight test, regardless of their vaccination status.
