Face-masks on the beach, limited time at swimming pools and hand sanitiser every step of the way-is this the future of holidays?

While the travel advice from the Irish Government is to avoid non-essential travel remains in place, a travel 'Green List' has been revealed. These are countries with a similar or lower prevalence of Covid-19 and travelers returning to Ireland, or people visiting from these countries, will not have to self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival.

Melanie May is a travel journalist who has been jetting around the world for the past five years. She has traveled to at least 53 countries and recently, she joined the Spanish Minister for Tourism and the United Nations World Tourism Organisation on a trip to The Canary Islands.

The purpose of the trip was to see what it is like to fly to and holiday there post-lockdown from mandatory mask wearing to visiting the pool.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Melanie revealed what travelling through an airport, going on a plane and visiting a holiday destination is like in a world dealing with a global pandemic.

You can see Melanie's experience in full on her Instagram page.

The future of motoring is really uncertain.

One thing we do know is that as a population we need to move away from the use of petrol and diesel cars, however what will replace them is still very much up in the air.

Electric and Hybrid cars have been very much looked upon as the answer in recent years, but range and charging times mean these options are simply not the best solution for some people.

However, the hydrogen engine is now looking like it could be the answer for many, with big companies like Audio, Vokswagon and more investing money into producing these vehicles.

This morning on Dermot & Dave, Dave spoke to Motoring Journalist Dave Humphreys about the benefits of hydrogen powered engines.

There was massive excitement yesterday as news broke that a coronavirus vaccine, developed by the University of Oxford, appears to be safe and appears to be triggering an immune response with some saying that it could be rolled out by Christmas.

But how likely is it? And how do we know that it's working?

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Kingston Mills, Professor of Experimental Immunology at Trinity College Dublin explained why terms such as 'anti-bodies' and 't-cells' look set to join our vocabulary alongside 'reproductive rate' and 'social distancing' as we wait and see the next results of the human trials.

While it is certainly an exciting development, Professor Mills also gave some insight into the next stages and how long it could be before it is widely available to the public.

In the most 2020 move yet, we're about to be hit by a swarm of flying ants so large that they can be seen from space.

Yes, really.

In fact, over the weekend, the UK Met Office confused the swarm with rain showers.

It's not raining in London, Kent or Sussex, but our radar says otherwise...

Living through a global pandemic has it's difficulties to say the least, but for some, differing opinions are causing chaos in relationships.

On Mind Yourself Now with Dermot and Dave, clinical psychotherapist and author of the bestselling 'The Positive Habit', Fiona Brennan had some advice for a listener who has seen issues in their marriage following on from lockdown.

Hey lads, I’m looking for a bit of advice. My wife and I have totally different views on what to do with the whole Coronavirus thing. I want to stay at home and go on a ‘staycation’ but she’s adamant that we should go on our holiday away which we had booked. I know it was a lot of money but I just don’t feel comfortable going away at the moment. Similarly, she’s going out and about and meeting friends but I find myself in a panic whenever it comes to it. I don’t want to be a boring stick in the mud but the thoughts of going to a café or a restaurant freaks me out and as for going abroad? Not a chance. It’s causing a LOT of tension between us and I don’t know what to do. What do your listeners think?

Fiona joined the lads with some tips on finding a balance between the two differing viewpoints and how this couple can get a break away they're both happy with.
