Spanish and Greek islands had hoped to be awarded green status, but no new additions will be made as Covid cases continue to rise.

Portugal was one of the few countries that made it on to the original green list.

It is unclear when the changes will be introduced but anyone travelling from Portugal to the UK would need a 10-day quarantine.
