Hopes of a summer holiday abroad have been dashed, with no new countries added to the UK’s green travel list and Portugal moved to Covid amber.
Cyprus stay in Amber list
No further countries are being moved from the amber to green status in a review of the government’s travel traffic light system, Sky News understands.
There were hopes some Greek and Spanish islands and Malta could have been added to the green list in the first review of the system since it came into play three weeks ago.

Portugal was the only major holiday destination on the green list, meaning tourists could return to the UK without having to quarantine.
People arriving in the UK from amber list countries have to take two post-arrival tests on day two and day eight after arriving and self-isolate at home for 10 days, although they can reduce that time if they take an additional negative test on day five.
