Weds update: There’s been an almost 200% increase in positive infections in #Germany in the last two weeks, combined with much higher testing positivity. It’s now firmly in our red zone. As is #Cyprus which now has test positivity above the #UK criteria. #COVID The PC Agency

Everyone can now get a free rapid Covid-19 test. They show results in 30 minutes. They also show you're doing all you can to protect those around you.

I understand #UKGov will publish its traffic lights system and details of which countries are red, amber or green on 7th May. See my latest blog insight here ⬇️ @thepcagency #Covid19 #checkpoints 🚦 pc.agency/blog/checkpoin…

Northern Ireland likely to have upstaged DfT Assuming all UK nations have signed up this is fabulous news: key locations are Balearic Islands: Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca. Also Barbados, Bermuda, Grenada, Madeira, Malta. And a number of highly irrelevant places.

We’re adding Malta to the Govt green list 🟢 We’re also adding Madeira, the Balearic Islands, several UK Overseas Territories and Caribbean Islands (including Barbados) to the green list and green watchlist. Israel & Jerusalem are also added to the green watchlist.

Just to be clear - the “green watchlist” enables #UKGov to switch green countries to Amber or Red without warning. Of the 15 destinations added today, only one, Malta, is pure green. Ministers have not re-instilled confidence in the traffic lights system.

Very few traffic light changes due tomorrow afternoon. Government simply doesn’t have the bandwidth to deal with #Afghanistan #Covid and #trafficlights. Consumers and the travel sector would prefer a simpler, cheaper, less onerous traffic lights and testing system. The PC Agency

TRAFFIC LIGHT TRAVEL UPDATE From 4am Monday 30 August, the following destinations will be added to the below sections on the traffic light travel list. GREEN 🟢 Canada Denmark Finland Liechtenstein Lithuania Switzerland The Azores RED 🔴 Thailand Montenegro

I understand that Day 2 PCR arrivals tests are to be dropped, as called for in recent days, and replaced with cheaper lateral flow tests. As well as pre-departure tests to the UK being dropped. A major result. #Omicron The PC Agency
