  • LISBON, PORTUGAL – JUNE 04: British Airways flight BA 501 flies off from Humberto Delgado International Airport to London Heathrow a day after Great Britain announced that Portugal reverts to “amber list” during COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic on June 04, 2021 in Lisbon, Portugal. Portugal has been added to the United Kingdom’s “amber list,” forcing British residents traveling to the country on holidays and business to face a 10-day quarantine upon return to the UK. The designation has caused dismay in Portugal’s tourism industry and a government’s reaction of disbelief, while British Transport Secretary Grant Shapps stated the decision was prompted by Portugal’s rising COVID-19 rates and fears that a new variant, Nepal mutation of the so-called Indian variant which has been detected in the country, could be vaccine-resistant.
