Restricting travel abroad after 17th May?

Thanks Keith, We are within the childcare sector and feel it would be an additional risk.. we have managed to go the whole pandemic with no cases in our setting.

On what scientific basis do you think it would be an additional risk?

Given the very severe restrictions that HMG have placed on travel there are places in the UK with potentially higher contagion rates...

But you can ask nicely

You can point out that if the green status changes to amber or red they will have to isolate/quarantine by taking additional holiday whilst doing so.
BTW why would Portugal be any worse that spending all weekend in the gym and pub and catching up with 'hugging'?

All of this applies to returning from green countries:

Before travel to England

Before you travel to England you must:
•complete a passenger locator form
•take a COVID-19 test
•book and pay for a day 2 COVID-19 test

On arrival in England

You must take a COVID-19 test on or before day 2 after you arrive.

You do not need to quarantine unless the test result is positive.

You must self-isolate if NHS Test & Trace informs you that you travelled to England with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
