--- Quote ---UK travel update: Amber list scrapped in overhaul of travel rules in England

The international travel traffic light system is being simplified in England with a single red list, as part of an overhaul of the rules from 4 October.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps also said eight countries would be taken off the red list from Wednesday.

It means people returning from places such as Turkey will no longer have to stay in hotel quarantine.

And PCR tests will no longer be required for fully vaccinated travellers returning to England.

Under the new testing regime, people who have had both jabs will not need to take a pre-departure test before leaving any country not on the red list.

That was the finding of an urban planner and housing issue researcher Dimitra Siatitsa for a postdoctoral dissertation at the University of Crete, who also cited a lack of regulations in the real estate market, said Kathimerini.
