Ministers will meet on Thursday (28 October) to discuss plans to remove the policy – which may not be enacted until the New Year, according to The Telegraph.
The current hotel quarantine rules are expected to be replaced by a requirement for travellers to self-isolate at home for 10 days, regardless of whether they are fully vaccinated.
Ministers are also considering removing the final seven countries from the red list – Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Haiti and the Dominican Republic – with a Telegraph source saying it was “almost certain” restrictions would be lifted.
