Just a few short weeks remain of the school summer holidays, meaning families around the country are scrambling to squeeze in a foreign break.
However, even after that update, which added Germany to the green list and France to the amber list, many holiday destinations popular with Brits are still off limits. France, Greece, Portugal and Spain are all amber at present, meaning you'll need to self-isolate at home on your return to Britain - unless you're under 18 or have had both Covid-19 jabs.
And unfortunately, it doesn't look like that will be changing any time soon - but some new places might go green at the next review.

Travel consultancy the PC Agency has analysed data and identified at least a dozen nations that could be handed green status, but it is more likely just a handful of countries will be upgraded.
The five nations that could be moved from amber status to the green list are Poland, Canada, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Czech Republic, and Lithuania.
Criteria is based on the country in question's infection rate, vaccination rate, prevalence of variants of concern, and and access to reliable data and genome sequencing.
The list is due to be updated on August 25 or 26. Announcements have been taking place every three weeks, with the first one on June 3, the second on June 24, the third on July 14 and the fourth one on August 4. They are nominally made on Thursdays, but the the last two announcements have been made on a Wednesday.
Any changes are likely to then take effect from the following Monday - in this case, August 30.
