Someone has just returned from a holiday and is saying that they can come back to work - I thought that Portugal was on the list of quarantine countries

From 4 July, Madeira and the Azores are exempt from the FCO advice against all non-essential international travel. This is based on the current assessment of COVID-19 risks.

However, the requirement to self-isolate on return to the UK from Portugal, including Madeira and the Azores, remains in place.

Portugal just been added to exempt list today

When exactly did they return?

Effective today, no quarantine is needed to the best of my knowledge. DH is coming back from lisbon tomorrow and has been told he doesnt have to isolateSmile

Just off the list he’s fine. Croatia and Austria added.

Just off the list if they arrive after 0400 hours on Saturday.

No. It's on the list of countries that don't need to isolate

Portugal's off the quarantine list WEF 4 am Saturday so if they have already returned they should isolate .

We have a holiday to Algarve booked for end of September- looks like it's on!! Really wasn't expecting this to happen ! Just hope it doesn't go back on the quarantine list while we are away

That's interesting - maybe the Saturday rule is in respect of isolation starting for Croatia then
