If their rate of infection is the same or lower than the U.K. you’ve the same if not less of a risk there than if you go on a staycation to a U.K. resort as no checks as you enter a U.K. resort for example.
If sensible and do the correct things in terms of masks and social distancing where possible then you negate the risks as much as possible.
As you spend most of a foreign holiday outdoors in hot weather your chances of avoiding it are pretty good.
Meat factories seem to be a key problem here and abroad though, partly because they are indoors and also kept and cold temps.
