These are roughly based on the Covid-19 risk in the destination and the possibility of bringing troublesome new variants back to the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">It\u2019s now the amber-red boundary that is most keenly watched: the wrong side of it involves an 11-night stay in a quarantine hotel on the return home, with all the associated costs.

Since early June, these updates have happened every three weeks, on a Wednesday or Thursday afternoon, and the last such announcement was on Wednesday, August 4. There has been a bit more variation in the number of days it takes for these updates to come into effect, but it\u2019s roughly four to six days after the announcement, so expect new rules for any recategorised countries to apply from around August 29 or 30. If the three-week timetable continues, we might see a further change to the lists revealed around September 15, applying to the last week or so of that month and early October.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">It\u2019s also worth remembering that the travel lists and the rules that go with them are not strictly a UK-wide matter, but a devolved one \u2014 although in practice the changes have stayed in sync between\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/travel\/destinations\/uk\/england\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">England<\/a>,\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/travel\/destinations\/uk\/scotland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Scotland<\/a>,\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/travel\/destinations\/uk\/wales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wales<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/travel\/destinations\/uk\/northern-ireland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Northern Ireland<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-72271 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Sri-L-ankaFishermen-e1629986645353.jpg\" alt=\"Sri L ankaFishermen\" width=\"600\" height=\"330\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Fishermen work on stilts in Sri Lanka: the country is currently on the red list<em>\u00a0(Getty Images)<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">What happened in previous updates to the green, amber and red lists?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">After the initial announcement of the traffic-light lists, the first shock to the system came on June 3, when it was announced that\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/travel\/destinations\/europe\/portugal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Portugal<\/a>\u00a0would be moving from green to amber (which at the time meant home quarantine for all on return).

The green list lengthened at the end of June with\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/travel\/destinations\/europe\/malta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Malta<\/a>, the\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/travel\/experiences\/balearics-travel-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Balearic Islands<\/a>,\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/travel\/destinations\/europe\/portugal\/madeira\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Madeira<\/a>\u00a0and many Caribbean islands joining the favoured few, although the Dominican Republic, Tunisia and four other amber-list destinations went red.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Perhaps the best news for travellers came in July, with the announcement that quarantine on return from amber-list countries would not be necessary for fully vaccinated arrivals after July 19. In the interval between those two dates came mixed fortunes: Bulgaria,\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/travel\/destinations\/europe\/croatia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Croatia<\/a>, Hong Kong and Taiwan going green, the Balearics rejoining mainland\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/travel\/destinations\/europe\/spain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spain<\/a>\u00a0on the amber list, and\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/travel\/destinations\/caribbean\/cuba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cuba<\/a>\u00a0and Indonesia labelled red. The biggest surprise was the creation of a so-called amber-plus category for\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/travel\/destinations\/europe\/france\/]\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">France<\/a>\u00a0alone, keeping the quarantine requirements on return even for the fully vaccinated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Unless you were coming back from France between July 19 and August 8, however, this proved to be just a temporary hiccup. The August 4 announcement (which came into force on August 8) brought France back unambiguously into the amber list, along with India, the\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/travel\/destinations\/middle-east\/uae\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UAE<\/a>,\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/travel\/destinations\/middle-east\/qatar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Qatar<\/a>\u00a0and Bahrain, while the green list gained seven new European members: Austria, Germany, Latvia,\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/travel\/destinations\/europe\/norway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Norway<\/a>, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.
