The advice is not to take foreign holidays so why are we compiling a list of safe countries?

Is there any merit now for persisting with a list?

The list can be regularly updated, expanded in line with low incidence or adjusted when a country is not doing well based on a key indicator; the 14-day cumulative number of coronavirus infections per 100,000 people. The problem is that agreeing a list doesn’t necessarily resolve other key issues, most notably confused messaging for the public and differences in restrictions and advice between north and south, which heighten risk of a resurgence.The advisability of publishing the list when coronavirus infections are increasing in Ireland and other European countries is a big worry for ministers.
