3rd June UK Travel List Review Update
From 4 am Tuesday 8th June, Portugal will no longer be on the green list and will now be an amber list destination.
7 countries, including Sri Lanka, Egypt, Trinidad & Tobago, Afghanistan, Bahrain, Costa Rica, and Sudan.
The decision to move Portugal (including Madeira and the Azores) to the amber list follows increased concern in the spread of variants of coronavirus, including a mutation of the Delta (India) variant, and the risk that is posed of bringing these back to the UK if people are not required to quarantine.
There has been an almost doubling in the Covid-19 test positivity rate in Portugal since the first review for traffic light allocations, far exceeding the ONS estimated national positivity rate in the UK.
