Arrivals into England from dozens of "high-risk" countries will have to quarantine in hotels at their own expense under new rules expected to be announced by the government on Wednesday (27 January).

Remember these? Covid could yet still rear its head over the winter

The measures will apply to all travellers, including British nationals and residents, arriving or returning from as many as 30 countries where the government believes there is a significant risk of new Covid variants being imported.


It will apply to arrivals from much of South America, southern and eastern Africa and Portugal owing to its travel links with Brazil, and possibly even the United Arab Emirates, The Telegraph reports.
