Currently the Foreign Office advises against all non-essential travel overseas.
But that advice will finally change thanks to the introduction of a traffic light system which will decide which nations are safe to travel to, with those classed as green or amber available to holidaymakers.
Travel advice can be eased in countries and territories where the public health risk is no longer ‘unacceptably high’ and therefore advice ‘against non-essential travel’ can be lifted.
In the week Martin Lewis urged hopeful holidaymakers to check their passports ahead of booking a trip.

As the days - and nights - heat up , you might be finding it difficult to get to sleep , but did you know that as well as the temperature outside , your pyjamas could be making things trickier for you as well .
Thankfully an expert has stepped in to share some advice about choosing the best pjs to sleep in during the summer months .

His @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you opt for breathable fabric to sleep in .
`` When it comes to choosing appropriate fabric for sleeping in , whether it ’ s your bedding or pyjamas , you want to choose a fabric that ’ s breathable , '' he says .

Getting to sleep during the sweltering summer months can be tricky and it turns out your pyjamas can make things even more difficult, here laundry expert Deyan Dimitrov shares his top tips
Laundry expert on how pyjamas can mess with your sleep - and what to wear during heatwave
As the days - and nights - heat up, you might be finding it difficult to get to sleep, but did you know that as well as the temperature outside, your pyjamas could be making things trickier for you.
Thankfully an expert has stepped in to share some advice about choosing the best PJs to sleep in during the warm summer months.
Deyan Dimitrov, CEO of Laundryheap, explains how making sure your bedroom is cool is the least of your worries if your pyjamas and your bedding aren't right.
His first top tip is to make sure you opt for breathable fabric to sleep in.
"When it comes to choosing appropriate fabric for sleeping in, whether it’s your bedding or pyjamas, you want to choose a fabric that’s breathable," he says.
"The best fabric by far is a high quality, lightweight cotton, because it’s breathable and the natural fibres will help to absorb moisture if you sweat during the night.
"Silk is a popular choice when it comes to bedding and pyjamas, but really it’s a fabric you should steer clear of. Even though it’s hypo-allergenic and somewhat breathable, it repels moisture, making for a sweaty sleep during the summer.
"Save your silk pjs for the winter months when you want to keep warm during the night."
His second piece of advice is all about the washing machine.
Deyan suggests using a non-bio detergent with no added scent in your wash cycle to avoid irritation and foregoing the fabric softener when washing pyjamas.
Why?
"Bio detergents clean rigorously, but can also damage natural cotton fibres, which reduces the absorbency of the fabric.
"It’s also wise to skip fabric softener when washing your sheets or pyjamas. Although fabric softener can make sheets smell nice, it dramatically reduces the natural fibre’s ability to absorb moisture. This will also contribute to a sweaty sleep."
As well as this, the expert recommends washing your pyjamas and bedding often.
He claims pyjamas should be washed every three wears for optimum comfort and hygiene.
Similarly, bed sheets should be washed every week "at the highest temperature you're comfortable with".
Following this, Deyan advises letting the pyjamas and sheets dry naturally on the washing line if you can as the fresh air will give them a nice crisp feeling and the scent will be fresh and clean.
He adds: "This is because the ultraviolet light from the sun helps kill any remaining bacteria and breaks down compounds that cause odour, so no musty smell!"

thedailymirror--2020-06-24--Bradley Cooper's ex Irina Shayk admits she's 'falling apart' after break-up

They seemed like the perfect Hollywood couple - he was an Oscar-nominated A-lister and she was a supermodel .
But just four years after Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk met - and two years after their daughter was born - the couple called time on their relationship .
Determined to keep their blossoming relationship under the radar back in 2015 , the couple were spotted attending a Broadway show but made sure they were n't seen together .
Both were guests at that year 's Met Gala but were careful to arrive separately and were n't pictured together .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ locking lips in London , Bradley and Irina , who had previously dated Cristian Ronaldo , confirmed they were a couple .
It seemed all was not rosy when they were pictured at the Wimbledon Men 's Final in 2016 looking like they 'd just had a huge fight , with Irina spotted wiping tears from her face .
She later blamed this on hayfever and in November that year they revealed the happy news that they were expecting a baby .
The pair had kept the news under wraps until the Victoria @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be seen with a noticeable baby bump .
Their daughter , Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper , arrived in March 2017 , and the little family seemed incredibly happy .
Bradley gushed about his daughter in interviews and the trio spent days at Disney before mum and dad put on a loved up display on the red carpets of awards season .
Despite this , long before their break-up there were rumours that all was not well between the couple .
There were constant rumour about Bradley 's relationship with his A Star @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something both he and Irina brushed off .

An insider insisted nothing happened between Bradley and Gaga .
They said : `` There ’ s no way Gaga and Bradley will get together .
Not now – they ’ re really good friends and still speak all the time . ''
Bradley 's pals are also said to have believed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with the couple welcoming a daughter less than two years after they met .
Just a few months after Bradley 's emotional Oscars night performance , his relationship with Irina had crumbled .
She was said to be the one who called time on the relationship , moving out of the home they shared .
The supermodel was said to be becoming increasingly frustrated during and after A Star Is Born 's filming .
A source close to the couple said at the time : `` Bradley was emotionally absent during the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They tried to save the relationship but it had changed . ''
But both Bradley and Irina were determined to keep their split amicable so they could easily co-parent their little girl .
Following the split Irina has said she felt `` very lucky '' to have been in a relationship with The Hangover star .
She explained : `` I think in all good relationships you bring your best and your worst - it ’ s just the nature of a human being .

Here's who Bradley Cooper has been dating over the years
Here's who Bradley Cooper has been dating over the years
The A Star Is Born actor and supermodel dated between 2015 and last year and have a two-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine
They seemed like the perfect Hollywood couple - he was an Oscar-nominated A-lister and she was a supermodel.
But just four years after Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk met - and two years after their daughter was born - the couple called time on their relationship.
Determined to keep their blossoming relationship under the radar back in 2015, the couple were spotted attending a Broadway show but made sure they weren't seen together.
Both were guests at that year's Met Gala but were careful to arrive separately and weren't pictured together.
But by May, after they were snapped locking lips in London, Bradley and Irina, who had previously dated Cristian Ronaldo, confirmed they were a couple.

It seemed all was not rosy when they were pictured at the Wimbledon Men's Final in 2016 looking like they'd just had a huge fight, with Irina spotted wiping tears from her face.
She later blamed this on hayfever and in November that year they revealed the happy news that they were expecting a baby.
The pair had kept the news under wraps until the Victoria's Secret show, when Irina could be seen with a noticeable baby bump.
Their daughter, Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper, arrived in March 2017, and the little family seemed incredibly happy.
Bradley gushed about his daughter in interviews and the trio spent days at Disney before mum and dad put on a loved up display on the red carpets of awards season.

Despite this, long before their break-up there were rumours that all was not well between the couple.
There were constant rumour about Bradley's relationship with his A Star Is Born co-star, Lady Gaga, something both he and Irina brushed off.
And the proud Victoria's Secret model jumped to give her partner a standing ovation when he performed an intimate rendition of Shallow with Lady Gaga at the Oscars in 2019.
An insider insisted nothing happened between Bradley and Gaga.
They said: "There’s no way Gaga and Bradley will get together. Not now – they’re really good friends and still speak all the time."

Bradley's pals are also said to have believed the couple's relationship had moved too quickly, with the couple welcoming a daughter less than two years after they met.
Just a few months after Bradley's emotional Oscars night performance, his relationship with Irina had crumbled.
She was said to be the one who called time on the relationship, moving out of the home they shared.
The supermodel was said to be becoming increasingly frustrated during and after A Star Is Born's filming.
A source close to the couple said at the time: "Bradley was emotionally absent during the long time filming A Star Is Born. They tried to save the relationship but it had changed."

But both Bradley and Irina were determined to keep their split amicable so they could easily co-parent their little girl.
Following the split Irina has said she felt "very lucky" to have been in a relationship with The Hangover star.
She explained: "I think in all good relationships you bring your best and your worst - it’s just the nature of a human being.
"Two great people don’t have to make a good couple."
However, she did confess that her role as a single mum could be challenging and there were days where she struggled to cope.
She said: "It’s hard to find a balance between being a single mom and being a working woman and provider.
"Trust me, there are days I wake up and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I don’t know what to do, I’m falling apart.'"
