However, he also stated that more information will be given later this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"heading\" ><strong>When is the best time to book a foreign holiday?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px\">The Government is informing people not to book foreign holidays yet. In his briefing, Boris Johnson said,<em><strong> &#8220;For the moment, the government advises people not to book summer holidays abroad until the picture is clearer.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em> It was also mentioned that the Government is hopeful but doesn&#8217;t wish to see the virus being reimported into this country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"heading\" ><strong>How will the traffic light system work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px\">The traffic light system will add green and amber categories of the current red list countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Countries on the green list will not require quarantine upon returning to the UK, but a PCR test will be taken before leaving and when returning.

In advance of non-essential international travel resumption, an initial assessment of which countries will fall into which category will be set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px\">However, the UK and Irish citizens and residents must quarantine for 10 days at a government-approved hotel once they return from the below nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Red list countries:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px\">\u25aa Angola<br>\u25aa Argentina<br>\u25aa Bolivia<br>\u25aa Botswana<br>\u25aa Brazil<br>\u25aa Burundi<br>\u25aa Cape Verde<br>\u25aa Chile<br>\u25aa Colombia<br>\u25aa Ecuador<br>\u25aa Eswatini<br>\u25aa Ethiopia<br>\u25aa French Guiana<br>\u25aa Guyana<br>\u25aa Lesotho<br>\u25aa Malawi<br>\u25aa Mozambique<br>\u25aa Namibia<br>\u25aa Oman<br>\u25aa Panama<br>\u25aa Paraguay<br>\u25aa Peru<br>\u25aa Qatar<br>\u25aa Rwanda<br>\u25aa Seychelles<br>\u25aa Somalia<br>\u25aa South Africa<br>\u25aa Suriname<br>\u25aa Tanzania<br>\u25aa The Democratic Republic of the Congo<br>\u25aa United Arab Emirates (UAE)<br>\u25aa Uruguay<br>\u25aa Venezuela<br>\u25aa Zambia<br>\u25aa Zimbabwe<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More countries to be added to the red list at 4am this Friday 9th April:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px\">\u25aa Bangladesh<br>\u25aa Kenya<br>\u25aa Pakistan<br>\u25aa Philippines<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"heading\" ><strong>Statements from other countries<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Travel for foreign holidays remains banned by the UK government, with fines in place for those caught breaking restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong><em>Malta<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;has announced it will welcome UK tourists from 1st June.

The Government reports a &#8216;certification&#8217; system backed by the NHS will be used to show if someone has been fully vaccinated, has antibodies, or has had a negative test. The vaccine passports programme could offer a more durable path, provided that sufficient efficacy against any variants &#8211; which means the role of COVID-status certification or vaccine passports is vital to this work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"heading\" ><strong>When will there be more updates on more about going on foreign holidays?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px\">The Government set up Global Travel Taskforce, is due to publish a report to the prime minister on Monday 12th April with more details on the traffic light system.
