Covid-19: Amber watchlist travel idea scrapped

A proposal to create an 'amber watchlist' of countries at risk of moving to red in the travel traffic light system has been abandoned, government sources have told the BBC. On Monday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he wanted a 'simple' and 'balanced approach' to pandemic travel. The sources said no new categories would now be added. Tory MPs and travel industry figures earlier warned a complex system risked putting people off from travelling.
