Brits also can't holiday in the US, Mexico, Canada, Thailand or Sweden without quarantining when they return home.

Many Asian countries or regions have not made the list either, including Laos, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Singapore and the Maldives.

South America has suffered with coronavirus, and as a result none of the countries there are on the list.

Holidaymakers from England will be able to fly to 59 countries and territories including France, Italy and Spain without needing to isolate if they return from July 10.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said: “Today marks the next step in carefully reopening our great nation.

“Whether you are a holidaymaker ready to travel abroad or a business eager to open your doors again, this is good news for British people and great news for British businesses.

“The entire nation has worked tirelessly to get to this stage, therefore safety must remain our watch word and we will not hesitate to move quickly to protect ourselves if infection rates rise in countries we are reconnecting with.”

Other countries on the list include Japan, Vietnam and Turkey.

Furthermore, there are some countries that are still banning people from the UK - such as Fiji and Cyprus - that are on Britain's quarantine-free list.

This makes it incredibly important to check before booking that you will be able to get into the country, if you are allowed to take out travel insurance and if there is a refund policy.

Countries will be graded green if they are safer than the UK, amber if less safe, or red which means all passengers returning will have to isolate.

The US will be on the "red" list, meaning self-quarantine measures will be required when returning to the UK.

Brits can also fly to countries such as New Zealand, but will be forced to quarantine on arrival.

Despite the air bridge arrangement Mr Shapps explained all passengers would have to fill out a “passenger locator form”, allowing governments to know where each visitor was going and for how long.

All passengers, bar a few exemptions, must still provide contact information on arrival in the UK.

And quarantines will remain for the worst-hit nations such as Brazil, the USA and India.
