Every country on the red, amber and green list ahead of travel review

The government are set to review their travel system on Thursday June 24 this week, with speculation that some more countries may move onto the green list.

There are currently a very limited number of countries that Brits can travel to without having to quarantine on their return and the government is currently advising against travelling to amber and red countries for a holiday.

But on Thursday there will be another review and while it's unlikely they'll be lots of movement on the list following the emergence of the Delta variant, there could be some minor changes made.
