There seems to be a lot of naval gazing on this thread quite frankly. We are a small island that relies on imports from the continent. We have no option to isolate ourselves, but it feels as if the government are getting closer to that stance every day. Variants will arrive regardless of actions at the border. Millions of key workers are exempt from amber list quarantine because the benefit of them working outstrips the risk.
But anyway, the UK government released its green list yesterday. 12 territories of which 4 are only letting visitors in if you can believe that. And it includes Aus and NZ!
