The government is expected to announce its latest changes to the traffic travel light system this week.
Reviews of the UK's green, amber and red lists are conducted roughly every three weeks, which means the newest updates should be revealed on Wednesday or Thursday. - as Mirror Online reports.
Holidaymakers will be keeping a close eye on the green list to see which places they can enjoy quarantine-free travel to, but analysis suggests this wont be expanding any time soon.

Expected updates to the green list
The Telegraph says that Poland, Bhutan, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Saudi Arabia could be moved to the green list.
Countries on the green list currently mean you can travel there without needing to self-isolate or quarantine when you return to the UK, although you will need to take a PCR test on day two.
England's full green list currently includes 36 destinations, with 16 on the 'green watchlist' - which means they are at a higher risk of being moved to the amber list.
Analysis by Paul Charles from travel consultancy The PC Agency has found Croatia, Madeira and Israel could be at risk of going from green to amber.
Expected updates to the amber list
Holidaymakers returning from amber list countries currently need to self-isolate at home for 10 days, and take PCR tests on days two and eight. However, those who are fully vaccinated are exempt from having to quarantine.
For those with a Spain holiday booked, travel expert Paul Charles is optimistic the country could likely remain on the amber list.
He explained on Twitter : "I’ve had many followers asking about #Spain - do not worry. It won’t be going red at the next review. Rates on every level are falling quite sharply, and the vaccination rollout is going strongly, with over 65% of the population fully-jabbed. August Bank Holiday is safe there."
A number of Caribbean islands such as Anguilla, Antigua and the Turks and Caicos Islands could also be moved to the amber list.
Expected updates to the red list
UK jet-setters returning from red list countries currently need to stay in a managed quarantine hotel for at least 10 days - which costs more than £2,000 per solo traveller.
Rising numbers of coronavirus cases could see Jamaica, St Lucia, Dominica and Morocco added to the red list.
Entry requirements in other countries for UK travellers
Holidaymakers must also take a look at their destination country's entry requirements because some countries have imposed stricter restrictions on UK tourists due to the concerning number of Coronavirus cases across Britain.
For example, Anguilla, Germany, Iceland, Malta and Slovakia all feature on the current green list, although they are only open to those fully vaccinated against Covid.
Meanwhile, Austria, Gibraltar, Latvia and Slovenia are some of the countries that could remain on the green list, and they welcome both vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers.
