UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says there will be no announcement on summer holidays until April 5.
Under the Government’s roadmap out of lockdown, the earliest date possible for foreign holidays in England is May 17.
Speaking at a Downing Street briefing, the PM said: “I think that the most important thing that we’ve got to do right now as we continue to immunise great numbers of people in this country is to protect our country insofar as we can, it’s never going to be perfect, but do as much as we can to prevent the virus coming back in from abroad and new variants coming in from abroad.
“So, the rules about what you can do, what people can do, to see their families abroad will be governed entirely by the rules that cover travel abroad and people coming from abroad.
“At the moment, as you know, it’s still forbidden to travel, we’ll be saying a bit more on April 5 about what the global travel taskforce has come up with.
“Clearly, at the moment there are lots of countries that are on a red list, 35 countries are on a red list, where we have very stringent measures in place for them, for people arriving from those countries.
“We will be saying more about seeing family abroad and travel abroad, but it won’t be until at least April 5.”
