England sets out traffic light system in bid to revive foreign travel

England unveiled the details of its traffic light foreign travel regime on Friday as the country sought to capitalise on its rapid vaccination campaign to ease pandemic restrictions ahead of the summer season.

The 12 countries were included in the green light category allowing for relatively free travel, while the vast majority were categorised as amber and there is a higher restrictions red tier. With worries over growing threats from new variants of Covid-19, London placed two new countries in the red tier.
