I think the generality is that if you choose to go abroad then the possibility of your destination moving from 'safe' to 'quarantine' is a risk you knowingly take. We certainly approached our holiday in France on that basis. If either of us still worked in an environment where that would have been a serious problem we would not have gone.
Maybe where Portugal is concerned there is a bit of and issue. It was moved from 'quarantine' to 'safe' and then very quickly the government began prevaricate over whether that was right and whether it should be reversed. The classification should be managed in such way as to avoid countries flipping from one status to the other and back again in short order.
It's also not making a great deal of sense when the constituent nations of the UK have different lists. It seems now that one can fly from certain places to say Bristol or Liverpool and drive to Wales but be subject to measures if you've flown to Cardiff.
