Holidays are back ON as government unveils list of more than 60 quarantine-free countries - including GREECE: Spain, Italy, New Zealand, Barbados and Malta are given green light amid fears plans for mass screening at airports will cause 'log jams'

• The government has announced a list of countries eligible for air bridge status
• From July 10, people travelling between the countries won't need to quarantine 
• Spain, Italy, New Zealand, Greece, Barbados and Malta among those on the list
• The US and Portugal have not been included in the roll call of 'safe' countries 
• The permitted destinations will be kept under review in case of Covid flareHolidaymakers were given hope today as the government released a list of more than 60 quarantine-exempt countries - but fears have been raised that plans for mass screening could cause 'log jams'.
  France, Italy, Spain, Germany, New Zealand, Malta and Barbados are among the popular destinations back on the agenda from July 10.
  Confusingly Greece has made the list, despite Transport Secretary Grant Shapps suggesting only this morning that it would be missed off as it has declared arrivals from the UK will be ordered to self-isolateBut Portugal has been left out, and the US has also been omitted. 
  However, the overhaul will only apply to England for the time being, as Nicola Sturgeon has refused to sign up to the arrangements branding them 'shambolic'.
  Meanwhile, Mr Shapps is facing Tory anxiety over the idea of introducing mass screening systems at airports from later this month.
  MPs warned there is a danger the move, which Mr Shapps has said is being 'actively' considered, could make matters worse if it causes delays, given that 80million passengers a year usually go through Heathrow alone. 
  The Foreign and Commonwealth Office is reworking its advice against 'non-essential' travel, with the new guidance in force from July 4.
  However the measures exempting travellers from quarantine will not be in place until July 10. The details published by the government this afternoon said: 'This list may be added to over the coming days following further discussions between the UK and international partners.'
  The majority of passengers will still have to provide contact details when they arrive in England. .The government is expected to announce a list of countries that will form part of the quarantine-free air bridge to restart the tourism industry
