Green, amber or red list? The destinations you can and can't travel to from England
Holiday hotspots such as Malta, Ibiza and some Caribbean islands are cleared for Brits to visit without quarantining on their return.
However, some countries - such as Australia, New Zealand and Iceland - are not currently accepting visitors from the UK, despite being on the green list.
The most popular European destinations with UK holidaymakers – such as Spain, Italy, France and Greece – are on the amber list.
What are the rules for people returning from each category?
Green: No need to self-isolate. Take a pre-departure test and a PCR test on day two of your arrival in the UK.
Amber: Self-isolate for 10 days, unless you are double-vaccinated, under 18, or receive a negative test result at least five days after arrival. Take a pre-departure test, and PCR tests on day two and day eight of your arrival in the UK.
Red: Spend 10 days in a quarantine hotel. Take a pre-departure test, and PCR tests on day two and day eight of your arrival in the UK. Travellers are only allowed into the UK if they live here.
