Our map shows Vietnam and Taiwan are the countries on the "air bridges" list that have the lowest number of people currently infected with coronavirus per 100,000 population. However Brits travelling to the two Asian countries must quarantine for 14 days when they arrive there. Among the quarantine-free countries, San Marino has the highest number of coronavirus cases among its population in Europe at 2,059 per 100,000 people, followed by a rate of 1,106 in Andorra. In terms of popular European destinations for jet-setting Brits, Spain has 641 Covid-19 cases per 100,000 people; Italy has 400 cases; France has 260; Germany 237; Poland 98; and Croatia 83.
