Amber and red lists - the five countries which could be banned for British tourists
Amber and red lists for travel will be updated by the government this week, allowing tourists to see which countries they can – and can’t – visit over the next month. However, there are some destinations that will still be banned to British holidaymakers, including Russia, South Africa, Turkey, Tunisia, and Brazil.
Any country that remains on the red list are banned to Brits, the government has warned.
If you do have to travel back from any of these countries or territories, you’ll have to quarantine in a managed hotel, while also taking two separate Covid tests throughout the 10-day period.
Russia is extremely likely to move from the amber list to the red list in the next update, experts have warned.
Its Covid cases are nearing its peak for the entire pandemic, averaging more than 20,000 new cases each day.
