Unvaccinated passengers arriving from one amber list country will face a two week quarantine period, despite rules changing.
According to new rules, passengers who are fully vaccinated returning from an amber list country, will not have to self isolate for 10 days upon their return back into England.

Travellers to popular tourist destination, Portugal, must be fully vaccinated in order to avoid a mandatory self-isolation period.
Like a lot of countries, Portugal has its own rules on entry and many people may be affected by the vaccination rule, like families who have children that are unvaccinated, for example.
Another country with a similar rule is Malta, which does not let anyone in the country who has not been fully vaccinated.
This means families with young teenagers who are yet to qualify for the jabs in the UK are not allowed to go there.

What are Portugal’s entry requirements?
All passengers entering Portugal over the age of 12 must provide proof of a negative Covid-19 test to travel to Portugal.
The airline is likely to not let you on the plane if you do not have this.
However, anyone who is fully vaccinated and has an EU digital certificate does not need to have a test ahead of travelling.
