Jet2, TUI, easyJet, Ryanair: full list of red countries for overseas travel after last review
A number of countries will be added to the red list from next week over fears of an increase in cases.
Transportation Secretary Grant Shapps revealed to the nation yesterday afternoon (Wednesday, July 14) that starting at 4 a.m. on Monday, July 19, there will be a number of traffic light list changes.
Indonesia, Myanmar, Cuba, and Sierra Leone have been downgraded from amber to red, meaning the British shouldn’t travel there.

Travelers returning home from these countries will need to self-quarantine at a managed hotel and pass two Covid-19 tests.
Welwyn Hatfield MP confirmed that Bulgaria and Hong Kong will be added to the green list while Croatia and Taiwan will be added to the green list of destinations.
Countries on the Green Watch List are being monitored and the Transport Department has previously said it will “respond to emerging evidence, with particular emphasis on variants of concern.”
This means that they could quickly switch to amber in the short term.

From Monday, fully vaccinated UK travelers can return to England from Orange countries and territories without the need to quarantine.
“We will keep these measures under review and we will be guided by the latest data – we will not hesitate to take action if necessary to protect public health,” Mr. Shapps tweeted.
