The prime minister said there will be “some opening up” on 17 May when the next step of his roadmap comes into effect - but that the approach to international travel in the summer should be cautious so “an influx of disease” can be avoided.
During a campaign visit to Hartlepool, Mr Johnson told reporters: “We do want to do some opening up on 17 May but I don’t think that the people of this country want to see an influx of disease from anywhere else.
“I certainly don’t and we have got to be very, very tough, and we have got to be as cautious as we can, whilst we continue to open up.”
