Only 12 countries, including Portugal, Gibraltar and Israel, have been included on the ’green list’ of destinations that will not require quarantine on return to England.

The traffic lights system needs a revamp, says Robert Boyle

The full list of green countries is: Portugal, including the Azores and Madeira, Australia; New Zealand; Singapore; Brunei: Iceland; Faroe Islands; Gibraltar; Falkland Islands; South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands; Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha; and Israel and Jerusalem.

The destinations were revealed in a press conference hosted by transport secretary Grant Shapps, who also revealed that key destinations such as France, Spain and Greece would not be on the green list when international travel resumes from 17 May.
