Which countries could be added to the red and green list in the traffic light review this week?
BRITS will find out if more countries are to be added to the green list at the next update this week. The government will also announce any changes to the amber and red list on July 15 - with some countries at risk of being moved. 2 The government is to update the countries on the green, amber and red list this week Credit: Getty  It is hoped that Italy, Germany and Bulgaria could join the government's quarantine-free green list this week. Robert Boyle, a former BA strategist who compiled the research, has accurately predicted traffic light changes before. Also on the list could be Canada, Austria, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Despite this, popular holiday hotspots such as Turkey, the Maldives and Dubai remain on the red list which bans all non-essential travel, and results in a mandatory quarantine-hotel when returning to the UK. While destinations such as Spain and Greece are seeing a surge in cases again, they are unlikely to be moved to the red list due to the high rate of vaccinations administered in each country. According to The i, using data complied by Reuters, destinations at risk of moving to the red list include Russia, Belarus and South Korea due to rising cases. It is also hoped that Turkey could be moved from the red list to the amber list, with their seven-day infection rate at 41 per 100,000 people  much lower than the UKs 273. The UAE - home to Dubai - could also be removed from the red list as more than two thirds of the population have been given both jabs, while their daily cases remain under 2,000. 2 Holiday hotspots like Dubai are on the red list, although could be moved to amber due to the drop in Covid cases Credit: Alamy
