The Northern Ireland Executive appeared to steal a march on a UK government green list announcement on Thursday afternoon (24 June), which had been due from transport secretary Grant Shapps.
The additions to the quarantine-free green list will take effect from 4am on Wednesday (30 June).
With the UK’s devolved administrations having, to date, largely taken a four-nations approach to the traffic light system, it is expected England, Scotland and Wales will adopt the same new-look green list, although this is yet to be confirmed.
TTG was told by the Department for Transport to expect an announcement at around 5pm on Thursday.
