UK to Add More Countries to its Green List from June 28

Aviation officials have hinted that an expansion of the current “green” list will arrive in time for the peak summer holiday season.

While a review of the countries currently included on the “green” list is set to take place on June 7, it is anticipated that more of the UK’s favourite holiday destinations, including Spain, Italy, and France will be added to the “green” list from June 28.

The government also plans to review the effectiveness of the traffic light system in place on June 28 and, if applicable, implement any necessary changes.

While this is promising news for anyone looking to get away this summer, travellers must continue to monitor and follow the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) guidance before booking a trip.

Additionally, travellers must also be aware and comply with any entry requirements, whether that is providing proof of a negative Covid-19 test, proof of vaccine status, or any other requirements, as travel insurance policies do not provide cover for denied entry in the event tourists are turned away from the destination for not arriving with the correct documentation.
