Also announced was the relegation of the Balearic Islands to the amber list - which the Department for Transport said had been done "due to a sharp rise in the number of cases".
"Since the last traffic light review, the case rate has more than doubled in the Balearics," the DfT said.
Meanwhile, Cuba, Indonesia, Myanmar and Sierra Leone will be added to the red list.
