Today's figures come amid reports Brits are set to be allowed to go on holiday across all of Europe under the government’s new travel traffic light system.
The new system will decide which nations are safe to travel to, with those classed as green or amber available to holidaymakers.
Austria, Barbados, Croatia, Germany, New Zealand, Thailand and Greece are some of the countries that have been given the ‘green’ light, according to the Sun.
Greek tourism minister Haris Theoharis also indicated it could be up to three weeks before his country is happy to open up an air bridge to the UK.
He told BBC Breakfast: “We’re currently consulting with our health experts, but I think given the fact that the UK is in the right direction, it’s a matter of a few days or a few weeks to ensure that all restrictions are lifted.
“So I feel the way things are now - and we always have to put this asterisk that the health situation has to continue to be on the same track as it is now - that we can certainly lift the restrictions in the next few days or, you know, two to three weeks.”
This week Brits packed onto beaches in their thousands as the country enjoyed a heatwave - with many failing to stay two metres apart.
It prompted authorities to declare a major incident on Thursday amid fears it could lead to a spike in new infections.
