Greece and Spain Excluded From UK’s Travel “Green List”

Amid the rising number of Covid-19 cases, both Greece and Spain miss out on the UK's quarantine-free travel list until a further review in June.


People from Britain will be able to fly to Gibraltar and Malta but not to Spain and Greece under UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s green light scheme, The Sun newspaper reported on Tuesday.

The two tiny Mediterranean sunspots are set to be included on the “green list” for quarantine-free travel after May 17, which, according to the newspaper, is due to be announced this Friday. The green status for those places would mean that Brits can visit there with just two Covid-19 tests on their return.

 

Spain and Greece on the other hand will have to wait until a further review in June, the report added, citing sources. Those two countries are likely to be on the “amber list,” meaning people can visit but will have to quarantine for 10 days when they return to the UK.

Most top destinations, including France, will be given the green travel go ahead by the school summer holidays in July, The Sun reported.

In an announcement on Tuesday, Britain’s Minister for International Trade, Elizabeth Truss, ensured that all the right procedures will be in place to ensure safe travel.
