From July 10 people who live in England will be able to travel to 59 countries without having to quarantine for 14 days when they return home.
The government has drawn up the “travel corridor” list, published on Friday, after deciding which countries now have “a reduced risk” of coronavirus.
Under current rules introduced on June 8, most travellers who arrive in the UK have to isolate for two weeks.
Today’s announcement means people living in England will more easily be able to take a summer holiday abroad.
The lifting of quarantine restrictions when returning from international travel does not yet apply to people arriving in Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales.
