I agree with Paul Clutterbuck and fear that the upcoming football event now being staged in Porto rather than
Istanbul will create a further surge of the virus prompting Johnson to place Portugal back on the red list.

We are desperate to come to Portugal to see our grandchildren as we haven't seen them for over a year as e are over 70 and have been shielding.So excited when Portugal put on green list but currently Portugal has not stated who can come and what tests will be required so we haven't booked flights.The test in the UK can only be carried out by government approved companies at great expense and difficulty if you don't live in a city.The situation needs to be clarified and made simple and cheaper before people will return to Portugal.SusanHollow
