Foreign Office issues latest travel advice of 'safe' countries to visit

EasyJet has said it is operating more flights than previously planned due to demand exceeding expectations.

The airline is expanding its schedule to 40% of normal capacity between July and September, compared with the 30% it predicted in June.

And Jet2 will resume its flights and holidays programme for Cyprus next week.

But the Foreign Office is still advising Brits against travelling to certain summer resort countries.

On July 4, the Foreign Office's travel advice changed, with exemptions for travelling to certain countries and territories that no longer pose a high risk for British travellers.

This has since been updated to remove certain countries from the 'exempt' list based on the current assessment of COVID-19 risks.
