The FCDO is no longer advising against all but essential travel to a number of countries "based on the current assessment of Covid-19 risks".

These include Spain, Greece and France, as well as Jamaica.

The updates started shortly after 5pm on Thursday (8 July). Around 20 amber list destinations saw their advice updated by 6pm.

There are around 150 countries and/or territories on the UK’s amber list.

It is the first sign of the FCDO’s Covid-specific advice aligning with the UK’s traffic light system.
