As you’ll have no doubt seen Portugal has now gone ‘amber’ for UK travellers. Technically one can still go if prepared to self-isolate for 10 days on return, but the ‘advice’ - as opposed to law - is against discretionary travel.Due to fly to Porto tomorrow (4th June) but the UK government are considering downgrading Portugal to amber today. I'm devastated - ready to head for the airport. I miss the camino so much albeit its only my third. Fingers crossed and lots of prayers!!!
I wonder how long it will be for. If you are going to be gone for a few weeks, it could change back. According to the Portuguese government, they are not happy with the situation as they feel it pertains more to Lisbon not the rest of the country. They feel it will go green again in a few weeks.Due to fly to Porto tomorrow (4th June) but the UK government are considering downgrading Portugal to amber today.

Go on then. You decide. On the basis of all the evidence, data and narrative information available to you, now. You decide what is the appropriate action for you to take. Do bear in mind that your decision has implications for 59 million other people over the age of 5. Is subject to the possibly contrary decisions of other governments. And might be a wrong decision that you'll be able to regret at leisure. Government is easy when you don't have to do it.Same here feel gutted and let down by this so called government change there minds faster than weather changes all they talk about is data etc no long term planning or thought goes into there decision making
