Malta has been added to the UK's green travel list, with the changes taking effect from next Wednesday at 4am. Assessments are based on a range of factors, including the proportion of a population that has been vaccinated, rates of infection, emerging new variants, and access to reliable scientific data and genomic sequencing. This means Brits now need the following when returning to the UK from Malta:  A negative test taken pre-arrival  A Covid tests taken on day two after arriving back in England  But the country announced tighter restrictions for UK holidaymakers less than 24 hours after it was added to our green list. Malta has some of the lowest cases of Covid across Europe - with three new cases reported yesterday. It also the leading EU destination for the vaccine, with 61.2 per cent of people fully vaccinated. Malta will only allow fully jabbed Brits to enter without quarantine and those who have not received both jabs will have to quarantine upon arrival. This means that those who arrive in Malta on June 30 or after will have to quarantine for up to 14 days if they cannot prove they have had two doses. According to the Foreign Office, all passengers, aged 5 and above, travelling to Malta from the UK need evidence of a negative PCR test, dated within 72 hours prior to arrival, before boarding flights to Malta. Passengers holding a Maltese issued certificate of vaccination are exempt from prior testing. Passengers are also required to complete a Public Health Travel Declaration Form and Passenger Locator Form. Life is also nearly back to normal in Malta with few restrictions - since May 10, restaurants have been able to open until 5 pm, while groups of six people can meet outside. However the country has imposed a midnight curfew on nightclubs, alcohol can only be served through table service with food and while masks on beaches and pools are not mandatory, they are still recommended.
