When will the green list be reviewed and what countries might be added?
In new rules brought in on Monday May 17, 12 countries have been added to England's 'green list' for quarantine-free travel.
Speaking at a press conference from Downing Street, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps previously said that the list would be 'necessarily cautious', adding that "we must make sure the countries we reconnect with are safe."
The list will be reviewed every three weeks, at which time more countries may be added to each list.
Here's what we know about when the next review is, and which countries might be added.
When is the next green list review?
It was previously thought that the first review would take place on June 7 (three weeks after the first announcement), but it was recently reported by the Independent that it will happen on Thursday June 3.
According to the report, any changed brought in by the review will be implemented at 4am on Thursday June 10.
