Portugal will be removed from the UK’s green travel list from Tuesday, amid rising coronavirus cases and concerns about the “Nepalese mutation in the so-called Indian variant”. It will match the Amber list, which means holidaymakers shouldn’t visit and returns should be isolated for 10 days. Seven countries – including Egypt, Costa Rica and Sri Lanka – will be on the red list with the strictest travel rules. Published by Newsnight’s Lewis Goodall.
