Well that means just about every country in Europe would be exempt. Spain now has an 'R' of 0.77 and that has been one of the worst affected.
If that is the case then surely it works the other way also... UK holidaymakers/travellers maybe allowed to travel and airlines will take advantage of this ! Many of the countries people travel to for holidays seem to be opening up bars restaurants and beaches. Italy Spain and Greece to name a few. Some countries are starting to encourage travel to boost their economies ?

Or will our government allow people in but keep us imprisoned on our own little island ?
