UK TRAVEL UPDATE: FRANCE MOVES TO AMBER AND PCR ADVISED FOR SPAIN, 7 COUNTRIES ADDED TO GREEN LIST

UK TRAVEL LIST UPDATE: FRANCE MOVES TO AMBER AND PCR ADVISED FOR SPAIN, 7 COUNTRIES ADDED TO GREEN LIST\\r\\nSeven more countries have been added to the UK government’s green travel list. From 4am on Sunday, anyone returning from Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Slovakia, Latvia, Romania and Norway will no longer need to quarantine on arrival.\\r\\nThere are now 36 countries on the green list – but 16 of them, including Caribbean islands, Croatia, Malta, Israel and Taiwan are on the “green watchlist”, meaning they could be suddenly be moved to amber.\\r\\nAustralia and New Zealand are both green – but neither are currently welcoming British travellers.\\r\\nFrance has also lost its confusing “amber plus” status, which had meant that all travellers and not just those who are not fully vaccinated had to self-isolate for 10 days upon return. It was the only country in that category.\\r\\nIndia, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have been downgraded from the red to the amber list, meaning arrivals will no longer have to spend 11 nights in a quarantine hotel.\\r\\nMexico, Georgia and the French overseas territories of La Reunion and Mayotte are joining the red list.\\r\\nThe government has also hiked the price of hotel quarantine required on return from a red list country. It will be increased from £1,750 to £2,285 from 12 August. The charge for an adult sharing a room will increase from £650 to £1,430.\\r\\nDespite prior speculation, Spain will remain on the amber list, enabling travellers who are fully vaccinated to continue to enjoy a quarantine-free return. There were fears in the travel industry that Spain could be added to the red list.\\r\\nPM Boris Johnson said earlier this week that he wanted to keep a “simple”, “user-friendly” system for foreign travel.\\r\\n\\r\\n

Spain is ready to welcome all tourists this summer

Spain will be ready to welcome back tourists in June, the country’s tourism minister has said. The European Union has previously set out plans for coronavirus vaccine certificates that could be used by UK holidaymakers this summer. Digital Green Certificates will be accepted as “proof” a person had a Covid-19 jab, received a negative test result or recovered from the virus, according to the European Commission’s proposal. And Spain says a digital certificate scheme is currently being trialled with a view to a wider rollout in June. Spain’s tourism minister Fernando Valdes Verelst told a travel and tourism conference in Mexico: “I think the best thing that Governments right now can provide to travelers is certainty, give the proper information and the security that they can travel and they can come back to the countries. “In those terms, in the European Union, we put in place a system … that provides us with digital certificate. “Spain is going to be ready in June to use this digital certificate. We are doing a pilot programme in May, in all our 46 airports. “We are going to give all these travelers that certainty. Spain is going to be ready in June to tell all travelers worldwide that you can visit us.”
