Portugal to be taken off England's travel green list, BBC understands
Holidays to countries on the green list can go ahead without quarantining when you return.There had been some speculation that Greek and Spanish islands could be added to the green list as well as Malta, Finland and parts of the Caribbean - but the government insisted it had to remain cautious.
He said this followed a meeting on Thursday morning between the UK and devolved governments and advice from the joint bio-security centre.Health Secretary Matt Hancock told the BBC: "We've got to protect the progress that we've made here at home whilst of course allowing for travel when it's safe to do so. We've got to follow the data."
He said that data showed several countries should be green-listed, so the government's decision "defies logic" and was being driven by "a policy of fear"."
