UK Madeira can be excluded from the 'green' travel list.  Update made today

The Madeira archipelago is in danger of being removed from the UK’s green travel list, moving to the amber list, according to ‘The Mirror’, as the British government prepares to make an update this Thursday.

Currently, there are 36 places on the British green list, and currently 16 are at risk of falling back on the amber list, which requires strict travel restrictions.

Paul Charles, PC Agency’s travel consultant, concluded that there is a risk of going from green in Croatia, Madeira and Israel to several islands in Amber and the Caribbean.

Removing Croatia and Madeira from the green list could be a big blow to the British because these are two places that accept vaccinated and non-vaccinated travelers, so they are the most popular choices.

The mainland Portuguese and Azores archipelago is currently on the amber list and there is no indication that the situation will change. The British government decided that Madeira should only be on the green list, something that could change today.

Keep in mind that the UK has adopted a three-tier travel color scheme, depending on the risk each country poses due to Covit-19, enforcing different rules on each layer.

Thus, visitors to green-listed countries are exempt from isolation, although they must undergo a PCR test upon landing.

In the amber list, passengers should be isolated at home for 10 days and subjected to PCR tests. However, those who are fully vaccinated can avoid isolating themselves by providing a certificate.

Finally, on the red list, tourists in the UK must pay their own expenses and be isolated in a hotel for at least 10 days. Tests are also needed in this case.
