Bookings to a number of countries, including Portugal, have soared after a green list of 12 countries where UK travellers can go to without quarantine was revealed. But Brits returning to England will still have to show a negative Covid test taken up to 72 hours before travel.

On its official guidance the government says the pre-departure test can be a PCR or lateral flow test.
