This would have put the likes of Spain, Greece and France at risk of turning red imminently, for millions of British travellers regardless of their vaccination status.</p> <p>There are today fresh calls from senior Tory MPs and industry leaders for Mr Johnson to go further and ditch the green-amber-red system entirely, replacing it with a single red list.</p> <p><strong>Scroll down for more of the latest.</strong></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="live-stream js-live-stream component" data-options="{'live_stream_url':'/travel/news/covid-travel-news-amber-watchlist-traffic-light-system-quarantine.livestream.json/TIMESTAMP.json','refresh_interval':'30','livestream_enabled':'true'}"> <div class="component-content"> <div class="live-stream__bar"> <div class="live-stream__bar-wrapper"> <p class="live-stream__bar-text">Auto update</p> <p><button class="live-stream__bar-button js-button-is-on"><br /> <span class="live-stream__bar-button-text live-stream__bar-button-on">On</span><br /> <span class="live-stream__bar-button-text live-stream__bar-button-off">Off</span><br /> <span class="live-stream__bar-button-inner"></span><br /> </button> </div> </div> <article itemprop="articleBody" class="live-stream__post-wrapper"> <div class="live-post js-live-post component" id="livepost1" data-timestamp="308"> <div class="component-content live-post__wrapper"> <div class="live-post__wrapper-body"> <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/news/covid-travel-news-amber-watchlist-traffic-light-system-quarantine/#update-20210803-0758"><time class="live-post__wrapper-body-timestamp-full" datetime="2021-08-03T07:58:46.745+01:00">7:58AM</time></a></p> <div class="live-post__wrapper-body-article"> <h3 class="live-post__title">Sydney lockdown could be eased if vaccination rate hits 50%</h3> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="article-body-text component "> <div class="component-content"> <p><strong><span class="m_first-letter">A</span>ustralia</strong>‘s New South Wales said on Tuesday it could ease a lockdown that demands five million people stay at home until the end of August if <strong>50 per cent of the population is vaccinated</strong>, even as new infections linger near a 16-month high.</p> <p>A lifting of restrictions in <strong>New South Wales</strong> would be a boost for <strong>Prime Minister Scott Morrison</strong>, under intense pressure for his government’s handling of the vaccine rollout, with the threat of a second economic recession in as many years looming.</p> <p>New South Wales on Tuesday reported another <strong>199 locally acquired cases in the past 24 hours</strong> but state <strong>Premier Gladys Berejiklian</strong> said curbs could be eased if six million people are vaccinated by the time the lockdown is due to end, stating:</p> <blockquote> <p>Six million jabs is roughly half the population with at least one or two doses.
