Prematurely Green?

Portugal was the only traditional holiday location on the UK 'green list' (locations that can be visited without a requirement to quarantine on return). It has now been removed from the list due to rising infections with Covid19 (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jun/03/england-covid-travel-restrictions-green-list-update). Somewhat fortuitously, Portugal lost its green status after the Cup Final involving two English teams in that country. As one might predict, airlines and travel agencies are unhappy. This seems to confirm that the very idea of foreign holidays for Brits was somewhat premature!
