UK HOLIDAYMAKERS have been urged not to book a summer holiday abroad following the Government's leaked airport quarantine plan, according to a leading aviation expert.

The commissioner for the digital portfolio, Margrethe Vestager, warned that "without the technology, it will be very difficult to open [society] to the degree that we all want" - since new outbreaks might surge back until there is a vaccine.

Germans might be able to go abroad on holiday this summer, tourism minister Thomas Bareiss told Germany's Der Tagesspiegel newspaper on Tuesday. "I hope that, given the good numbers [on coronavirus infections], we will be able to relax the restrictions in the next four to eight weeks," he said. "I would not yet write off other regions in Europe, such as the Balearic islands or the Greek islands," Bareiss added.

Brits should not book summer holidays because there is no end in sight to the lockdown, the Government has suggested.

English schools will reopen after coronavirus lockdown in a "phased manner", the Education Secretary confirmed.
