The decision to move Portugal to the amber list from 4am on Tuesday (8 June) was made by transport secretary Grant Shapps on Thursday (3 June).
But this does not necessarily mean that the FCDO will automatically change travel advice to Portugal.
The FCDO also does not currently advise against non-essential travel to the Canary Islands and five Greek islands - Rhodes, Kos, Zante, Corfu and Crete – even though Spain and Greece are classified as amber destinations by the Department for Transport (DfT) and require a 10-day quarantine when returning to England.
