Portugal, Mauritius removed from Covid travel red list
Portugal, including Madeira and the Azores, has been removed from England’s travel red list, allowing Britons to skip quarantine when returning home.
The flight ban from Portugal is also being removed. The red list removal comes after ‘evidence that shows the risk of importing a variant of concern from these destinations has reduced; the government said.
Mauritius is also being taken off the list, opening up long haul holidays to the Indian Ocean island nation when international travel is permitted again.
Meanwhile, Ethiopia, Oman, Somalia and Qatar are being added to the red list from Friday. The red list now comprises 35 countries and territories.
