Expanded green list welcome but Government needs to be more ambitious
Commenting on the update to the international travel country listings, Henry Smith MP, Chair of the APPG for the Future of Aviation said:
“The expanded green list and the UAE’s move to amber are a welcome step forward but the Government needs to be much more ambitious.
“The fact that France is now a regular amber and we have got rid of this nonsense of Reunion and Mayotte affecting the whole of metropolitan France is a sensible move and very welcome.
“I do feel there is a case to be made that those arriving from green list countries should only require a rapid-turnaround antigen test, which could be backed up with PCR in the unlikely event that it is positive. That would reduce cost and make things more simple and pragmatic for people returning.”
