THE next review of the UK’s travel list of countries is due at the end of this month, according to Downing Street.

The review will see whether new countries will be added or removed from the UK green list depending on their infection rates.

It will also whether any countries will need to be moved into and from, the UKs amber and red lists. 

A spokesperson for the Prime Minister said this morning: “There is a three-week review point, so the next check point is coming up at the end of this month.”

The spokesman for the Prime Minister Boris Johnson added that he believed this would be no later than June 28.

It comes as more jetsetters departed the region this week as the first Ryanair flight to 'amber-list' Portugal lifted off from Teesside Airport.

Downing Street has said that the Government wanted people to travel abroad “as soon as it is safe to do so.”

It made the comments as it stressed that no decisions had been made about opening up holidays for those who had received both vaccine doses.

The Prime Minister’s official spokesman told a Westminster briefing: “As we have always set out, we want people to be able to travel abroad as soon as it is safe to do so.

“Currently we have set out a traffic light system for international travel. We are always learning more about the virus and its variants.

“At this stage in the pandemic, our current approach is the right one, but we keep our measures under review, and that was set out clearly in both the road map and the Global Travel Taskforce report.

“On the point about double vaccinations, absolutely no decisions have been made on that.”
