The “green list” of Great Britain has finally evolved into a puzzle for diligent thinkers, as this morning British media published the countries that will be on the specific list, including Greece, finally the BBC reports that the specific plan is being put on ice.
According to information broadcast by the BBC, everything shows that no new countries or regions will be added to the UK’s “green list”.
No additions and removals
The same information states that there is a possibility that some countries will be removed from the “green list”, while it is expected that there will be additions of countries to the “red list”.
The full list of countries is expected to be announced later in the day by British Transport Secretary Grant Shapps.
It is worth noting that there were numerous reports from the British media earlier that estimated that at least five Greek islands: Kefalonia, Kos, Mykonos, Santorini and Zakynthos would get the “green light”, while they also considered the “opening” of Corfu, Lesvos, and Rhodes possible .
In May, Britain liberalized travel to only 12 foreign countries, with Greece and Spain excluded, a fact that provoked the reaction of airlines and companies in the industry.
