Portugal was added to the UK's green list for travel, meaning Brits can travel without having to quarantine on return but still require two negative Covid tests. But the EU is recommending the ban to member states, with an official claiming it's 'diplomatically delicate' to reverse. Portugal was one of 12 countries included on England's 'green list' during a Downing Street briefing on Friday, with holiday-starved Brits quick to being booking trips. Ryanair added extra flights to Portugal, with 175,000 seats to the likes of the Algarve, Lisbon and Porto for the summer holidays.
