Britain’s Health Secretary Matt Hancock is expected to announce an update to the so-called “green travel” list with, once again, many predicting Malta to be added to the list.

The green list would allow people to travel without the need to quarantine.

However, Germany appears to have thrown a spanner in the works with Chancellor Angela Merkel calling for all EU member states to impose a mandatory quarantine on all UK travellers.
