Tui will stop holidays to a Zante resort after 16 coronavirus cases were linked to a flight returning to Cardiff from the Greek island
Greece has been added to Scotland's quarantine list, meaning people who are returning from any of its islands or the mainland after 4am tomorrow will have to isolate for 14 days.
England's health authority is now facing pressure from Welsh politicians to also enforce a quarantine for passengers returning to England after the spike in cases. Wales' health minister Vaughan Gething said he would be pressing the UK government for an urgent meeting to consider the potential risk in Greece.
Restrictions for Greece were lifted in England in July when international exemptions were first permitted. There were 14.0 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in Greece in the seven days to 31 August, down from 14.9 a week earlier.
