From Monday 19 July, Bulgaria will be on the green list that allows Brits to travel to the European country without the need to quarantine upon their return.

The United Kingdom will be placed on their own red list from July 19 – coinciding with Freedom Day in Britain.

There are exceptions to the rule including those that are medical professionals or seasonal workers.
