Everything you need to know about the traffic light system and what we cover

Posted on July 09, 2021

The traffic light system was first introduced in Mid-May 2021 with the purpose of categorising countries based on the level of covid-19 risk. Countries on the ‘green list’ are deemed to have a low level of infection, with the vaccine roll-out in full force and minimal concern over new strains or variants, whereas those that are a higher risk are either on the amber or red list.

At Holidaysafe, we can protect your trip against various scenarios you may encounter as you travel post-COVID, however if you do choose to travel to an Amber or Red country, then your level of protection may be limited, given that you are technically travelling against the advice of the FCDO.
