The move triggered a furious diplomatic row, with Portugal's president accusing UK ministers of 'health fundamentalism' and of being 'obsessed' with infection rates. It also sparked a race among thousands of British holidaymakers in Portugal to get back before quarantine-on-return rules kick in on Tuesday, when the country is formally placed on the amber list. Karen Beddow said she felt let down after being forced to cut her family holiday to Portugal short in order to avoid quarantine on return to the UK. Laura Wolfe (top right) faces even more disappointment after the decision threw her two-week trip to the Algarve with her partner Daniel and sons, aged ten and 16, into doubt. Bottom right, travellers in Faro Airport. Moving Portugal from the green to the amber list means travellers will have to quarantine at home for ten days after visiting, while paying for and taking two Covid tests, on days two and eight. British families of four in Portugal now face having to pay £1,000 to buy PCR tests at £125 each.
