Decision expected today on whether Spain & Greece will be added to Amber plus?

[Kate3150]

I thought the next review wasn’t until the beginning of August? I can’t keep up!

Where did you hear this please?

It’s on GMB, the news that rolls across the screen x

I don’t think they should state dates but look at it daily and put measures in place as soon as needed given the current situation l

Thank the Lord not going abroad - I cannot keep up!

I’m confused too? Not sure why they’re saying today for an update?

It's because of the increase in Beta variant presumably. It looks to be starting to get a footing now in Italy and Sweden too.

Ahhh okay so I guess the dates don’t really mean much? I don’t know why they bother with them to be honest if they’re going to be making snap decisions on travel all summer, well all year I expect

It does seem silly to get tied into dates when so many issues are caused by delay.

OP what did it say exactly?

@NoSauce- pretty much what my title thread says. It was rolling across the screen so didn’t go into in depth detail.

New variant is prevalent in Spain now, I believe. I wish they wouldn’t commit to dates, things need to be more responsive.

Thanks OP.
