If they were added to the 'amber plus' list, holidaymakers would need to quarantine upon return from the country.
Holidaymakers could face fresh travel chaos over plans to put Spain and Italy on a new ‘amber watch list’.
Anyone in a red list country has to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days on return and pick up the bill of £1,750 a head. One Whitehall source said: ‘You would have to be crackers to book a holiday to a place knowing that it could go on to the red list at any moment.‘If you have already booked to go there you are going to spend your whole holiday worrying whether you are going to have to make a dash to the airport to get home.
Some ministers doubt whether it is even possible to put Spain on the red list this summer, given the limited amount of hotel quarantine capacity in the UK.It comes after the government was criticised for creating a new category for France.
