Currently anyone arriving in the country has to stay indoors for 14 days and tell authorities where they ’ ll be staying .

The government says it will maintain a “ strict handbrake mechanism ” allowing them to change a country ’ s risk category if there ’ s an outbreak in that country - or even in part of it .
What countries are in the safe list ?
The full list will be unveiled by the government later today .
But the government say it will definitely include Germany , France , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the list mean we won ’ t get quarantined when we arrive at another country ?
Most countries are still yet to announce whether Brits will be able to travel to their countries without quarantine .
And the government will only say it expects `` a number of the exempted countries '' to scrap quarantine rules for the UK .
The government wants to negotiate so-called ‘ air bridges ’ - where two countries agree not to quarantine each other .

No-quarantine holiday list: How do new rules work and which countries are included?

Arrivals from countries deemed to be ‘safe’ won’t have to go into quarantine, so long as they haven't been in an 'unsafe' country in the last 14 days.
They'll still have to give their contact details to officials on arrival though, for contact tracing purposes.
The Joint Biosecurity Centre - which is responsible for setting the Coronavirus alert level - alongside Public Health England, have drawn up a list of safe countries, based on “strict public health criteria.”
They’ll introduce a ‘traffic light’ system for the list of countries - with arrivals from amber and green countries exempted from quarantine.
Will the traffic light list change?

It might.
The government says it will maintain a “strict handbrake mechanism” allowing them to change a country’s risk category if there’s an outbreak in that country - or even in part of it.
What countries are in the safe list?
The full list will be unveiled by the government later today.
But the government say it will definitely include Germany, France, Spain and Italy.
Does being on the list mean we won’t get quarantined when we arrive at another country?
Image: NurPhoto/PA Images) NurPhoto/PA Images)
No.
Most countries are still yet to announce whether Brits will be able to travel to their countries without quarantine.
And the government will only say it expects "a number of the exempted countries" to scrap quarantine rules for the UK.
The government wants to negotiate so-called ‘air bridges’ - where two countries agree not to quarantine each other.
But we’re not there yet.
So what about the countries we know are on the list so far - will we be quarantined when we go to them?
France:
Currently has a 'voluntary' quarantine in place for arrivals from Spain and the UK, which the country's Foreign Affairs Ministry says is in 'reciprocity' for our quarantine rules.
It's unclear yet if that will be lifted when we lift ours.
Spain:
Spain reopened its borders to EU member states, Schengen area countries and the UK last week.
UK visitors to Spain don't have to quarantine on arrival.
Germany:
People from the UK have been allowed to travel to Germany since the country lifted border restrictions on June 15
Italy:
Italy opened its borders to EU, UK and a host of other countries on June 3.
Travellers from the UK don't have to go into quarantine, unless they've been in one of Italy's non-approved countries in the last 14 days.

Holidays to the four countries and many more are officially being given the green light - but only if you're from England
Quarantine axed on July 10 for holidays to Spain, France, Germany and Italy
Holidays to Spain, France, Germany and Italy from July 10 have officially been given the green light - but only if you're from England.
People arriving from the four countries will no longer have to quarantine for 14 days, the government announced tonight.
The nations are the first set to be added to a “traffic light” system on Friday - in which countries marked amber or green will have restrictions lifted.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps boasted the change was “good news for British people and great news for British businesses.”
Yet tonight’s announcement is not for the whole of Britain.

Instead, it was mired in chaos after Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland could not be persuaded to sign up.
The split means those arriving into the other three nations of the UK must still follow the quarantine rules, at least for now.
And it opens up a bizarre loophole in which people could technically fly in and out of an English airport, then drive across the border.
Mr Shapps said travellers to England from around 60 countries and overseas territories will no longer have to quarantine when they arrive in the UK.
He told Sky News: "There will be a list of 50-plus countries. If you add in the overseas territories (there will be) 60-something-or-other that will be announced later today.
"France, Germany, Italy and Spain will be on that list. It is really important that we have done this in a very careful and cautious way. The most important thing is to maintain the gains that we have had."
Meanwhile, unprecedented Foreign Office travel advice against “non-essential travel” anywhere in the world will ease on Saturday.
The change in guidance will set out exemptions, allowing people to travel to safer countries without invalidating their insurance.

Passengers arriving from all nations, even amber or green ones, will still have to give their contact information and travel history at the border.
That will allow them to be traced more easily if there’s an outbreak.
It comes almost exactly a month after the UK imposed a 14-day quarantine on almost anyone arriving from any country in the world.
The restrictions prompted outrage from Tory MPs, airlines and the tourist industry who warned they would prompt a wave of layoffs.
But hopes the UK would set up “air bridges” - two-way deals with specific countries to have no quarantine at either end - have so far failed.
Instead the government is setting up a “traffic light” system, with countries given a colour based on their coronavirus risk.
Arrivals to England from red countries will still need to quarantine for 14 days, while those from amber and green countries will have restrictions eased.
Unlike with “air bridges”, the agreement is only one-way.
That means Brits could find themselves forced to quarantine when they arrive at their holiday destination.
Currently Spain, Germany and Italy have no quarantine rules on arriving Brits, and France’s is only voluntary.
The full “traffic light” list of countries is due to be set out on Friday by Transport Secretary Grant Shapps.
According to The Times, 40 countries will be given green status and a further 33 will be given an amber rating.
It is reported green countries will include most of Western Europe, all British overseas territories, and Turkey, Thailand, Sri Lanka and nations in the Caribbean.
Australia, New Zealand and Greece, which remain closed to British tourists, will be on the “amber” list and the US, Brazil, Russia and Iran will be “red”, the Times reported.
The Department for Transport did not confirm whether the four countries officially announced tonight were green or amber.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said: “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.”
It comes after a day of chaos in which the scheme descended into infighting - with the UK government and Nicola Sturgeon each blaming each other for a hold-up.
Questioned on Thursday, Downing Street could not say when the "traffic light" list would take effect - despite journalists previously being told it was "likely" from Monday 6 July.
No10 also gave no indication that there will be separate "air bridges" for countries popular with Brits.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps suggested the Scottish Government was delaying an announcement on the scheme.
But the Holyrood administration said the claim was "completely unfounded" and accused the UK Government of failing to keep Scottish ministers fully updated on the plans.
First Minister Ms Sturgeon said Mr Shapps had misrepresented the situation "which is disappointing but sadly not surprising".
Downing Street said in response: "We’ve taken a four nation approach to quarantine and we’ve been working closely with the devolved administrations on the next steps.”
