Every country on the green, amber and red list after travel update

The government has updated the traffic light system today, with several countries moving to a different list.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps announced the changes to the green amber and red lists on social media this afternoon.

He said: "From 4.00am Monday 19th July Bulgaria & Hong Kong will be added to the green list and Croatia & Taiwan the green watchlist of destinations. Please check latest travel advice before you travel as countries and territories may have extra requirements before you get there.

"We’re also moving the Balearic Islands & British Virgin Islands to the amber list- previously on the green watchlist. Also, from 19/07 if you’re fully #Vaccinated in the UK you can return to England from amber countries and territories without needing to quarantine.

" Cuba, Indonesia, Myanmar and Sierra Leone will join the red list to safeguard our domestic vaccine rollout We’ll keep these measures under review and be guided by the latest data - we won’t hesitate to take action if needed to protect public health."

Under the current rules Brits don't have to quarantine when they arrive back in the UK from a green country.

Those returning from an amber list country have to self isolate for ten days at home, but from Monday July 19 people who are double jabbed or under 18 will no longer have to quarantine.

If you return from a red list country you have to quarantine at a government approved hotel, at a cost of over £1,000.
