Will more countries be removed from the quarantine-free list?

He added: "I’m going to be staying at home this summer."

Speaking on Sky News, he continued: "As we’ve found with Spain, we can’t give a guarantee.

"All we can say is we’ve got this Joint Biosecurity Centre, we monitor the risk in real time, we take decisive swift action and so there is an element of uncertainty this summer if people go abroad."
