Travellers are evaluating the latest green list update, which has seen Malta join the no-quarantine category – with a scattering of Caribbean isles plus Madeira and the Balearics put on the “green watchlist” – meaning the need to self-isolate is removed, with the warning it could be reinstated at short notice.

Plans for fully vaccinated travellers to be able to avoid quarantine have been outline – but with no start date announced for a measure that would transform travel opportunities.

The update follows a Travel Day of Action on 23 June, in which workers from across the travel industry lobbied the government for action for the battered sector.
