A traffic light system could enable overseas travel, a government scientific adviser says.
Prof Andrew Hayward from University College London, a member of Nervtag (the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group), says this system could see places such as South Africa and South America marked as red.
It comes after another government adviser, Dr Mike Tildesley, said last weekend that holidays abroad this summer would be "extremely unlikely".
Prof Hayward told Radio 4's Today programme: "I suspect what we may end up with is some sort of traffic light system with some countries that are no-go areas, for example likely to be South Africa and South America; other areas where there will be more severe restrictions, there will be some combination of vaccine certificates, testing and maybe quarantine, and maybe there will be some low-risk countries that you can go [to]."
Under the current road map for easing restrictions, the earliest date people in England could go on holiday abroad would be 17 May.
A government taskforce is considering how international travel could work and is due to report to the prime minister on 12 April.
Tim Alderslade, chief executive of Airlines UK, said: "We know that universal, restriction-free travel is unlikely from 17 May but under a tiered system, based on risk, international travel can meaningfully restart and build up, with minimal restrictions in time."
