As it happened: Portugal to be taken off green lists for UK holidaymakers - BBC News
No new countries are added to the foreign travel green lists - and seven are moving to the red list.
Travel industry insiders have been giving their reaction to the announcement that Portugal is expected to move from the green to the amber list.

Paul Charles, chief executive of travel consultancy The PC Agency, says it is a "terrible decision".

"They are basically putting at risk tens of thousands of jobs across aviation and the travel sector, and not showing any signs of helping the sector to recover," he says.

"They seem to want to continue to create an atmosphere of fear among travellers, which is totally at odds with other countries.

"There are several countries which meet the criteria to be on the green list, so this is clearly a politically charged decision rather than one based on data."

Robert Boyle, former director of strategy at British Airways' parent company IAG, says: "In theory, we know what is being measured and the data sources being used, as the government has published that.

"What we don't know is what the thresholds are and how they get from the data to the decisions.

"I think the truth is they follow the opinion polls."

The government bases its decisions over which list each country is placed on on advice from the Joint Biosecurity Centre.

And Health Secretary Matt Hancock earlier told the BBC: "We've got to protect the progress that we've made here at home whilst of course allowing for travel when it's safe to do so. We've got to follow the data."
