Britain reopens travel from May 17 but to just 12 destinations

LONDON, May 7 (Reuters) - Britain will allow international
travel to resume from May 17 but is limiting the number of
destinations open for quarantine-free holidays to just 12
countries as it cautiously emerges from lockdown restrictions.

Countries including Portugal and Israel made a green list of
countries for low risk travel for people from England, transport
minister Grant Shapps said on Friday. The most popular
destinations such as France, Spain and Greece did not make the
list.
