Spain speeding towards 'amber plus' list - 'We’ll try to give as much notice as we can'

According to the small business minister Paul Scully, the Government are currently in discussions over whether to add Spain to the “amber plus list”. It comes as the number of confirmed cases of Covid sky-rocket beyond mainland France, which last week became the first country on the newly created “plus” list.
There is mounting speculation that Spain, and also potentially Greece, could end up joining France on the amber list extension.
However, Mr Scully said the Government aim’s to “give people as much notice as we can”.
It comes amid chaos in the travel industry, which has seen holidaymakers desperately racing home to beat quarantine restrictions coming into force in France.
Speaking on Sky News, Mr Scully said: “We try to give people as much notice as we can but it’s not just about the pure numbers.
“It’ about the variants, the style of variants, the Beta variant for example which is quite prevalent in France at the moment.
