Two senior Cabinet ministers have refused to rule out the possibility of France being removed from the UK's list of safe travel destinations, amid reports it could be the next country to face quarantines.
When asked if France could be next, Chancellor Rishi Sunak said he "can't speculate", adding how ministers are keeping "everything under constant review".
Asked the same question, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Michael Gove said there is "evidence that across the European Union the number of [coronavirus] outbreaks is increasing".
As such, he said it was "important" for the UK to "show vigilance" by being ready to impose restrictions when necessary.
A source told ITV News there were concerns over France, with coronavirus cases there reaching a two-month high.
Belgium, Andorra and the Bahamas lost their quarantine exempted status on Thursday evening, meaning anyone returning from there from Saturday must isolate for 14 days.
Mr Sunak said his advice to hopeful holidaymakers is that "we're dealing with a global pandemic, and given that, it does mean that there's a risk to travel and travel can be disrupted".
