Portugal is set to come off the red list today, meaning those returning from the country no longer have to endure a £1,750-per-person hotel quarantine. While travel for holiday purposes is still banned, the news means that getting to Portugal this summer is looking far more likely. The Portuguese government hopes to reopen borders from mid-May to Britons who have been vaccinated or tested negative for Covid-19, while the UK ban on international travel should be lifted on May 17 at the earliest.
