Personally, if Portugal is that bad it needs to go on the red list, it should be immediate, not with several days notice. Same with every other country.
The government is tracking numbers etc for all these countries so can give some notice that they are expecting this country or that country to drop down a level (amber to green etc) but not give a date. For countries going the other way, they could give some warning that a country may end up red/amber soon but the actual switch of bands should be immediate.

Do not trust what that snake says. He only sees it as a back door stepping stone for full ID cards - something he has been craving since he was the PM
Blair -- "With this ability to securely prove vaccination status, we can move beyond blunt, catch-all tools and align with other countries by removing certain restrictions for the fully vaccinated".
Apart from if you live in Hungary :rolleyes . They bypassed the EU's vax shambles and instead went for the Russian and Chinese one - so Brussels spat their dummy out and spitefully adopted a draft legislation about the digital green card (their vax passport ), Under the adopted proposal, only those who have been vaccinated with one of the vaccines approved by the EU Medicines Agency will benefit from the travel facilitation. This only targeted Hungary.
So instead Hungary started to announced bilateral agreements made separately with each EU state to recognise Hungary's vax passports to allow Hungarian citizens to travel without undergoing quarantine requirements. Hungary already reached such agreements with Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Slovenia, and Bahrain and Turkey. Now in the face of that the EU have backed down and will now allow Hungary's vax. So glad we are out of all that crap.

Anyway, holidays in the Falklands this year.

Remember seeing my first at the Farnborough Air show in '69. Lovely, but not as good as the Lightnings doing vertical climbs
