Raab told Sky News on Thursday (29 July) he was "increasingly confident" more countries would be added to the lists.

His comments come after the UK government on Wednesday (28 July) confirmed it would ease quarantine for fully vaccinated arrivals from the US and Europe.


Raab said the move could potentially open up more countries for holidays, but declined to comment on which countries’ statuses might change.
