"Some travellers coming to England will have to quarantine in hotels, over concerns about new Covid variants, the government is expected to announce.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson will make a decision after discussing the proposals with senior ministers later.
The measures are likely to apply to UK citizens and those with permanent residency rights arriving from high-risk countries such as South Africa.
Most foreign nationals from high-risk countries already face UK travel bans.
The requirement to isolate in a hotel for 10 days will apply to arrivals from most of Southern Africa and South America, as well as Portugal, because many flights from Brazil come via Lisbon, according to BBC Newsnight's political editor Nicholas Watt. "

Bargain!
Room service, a cinema and 1,400 thread count sheets (that you change yourself): inside the world's most expensive quarantine
A temperature-controlled bed wrapped in 400 thread count Ploh bedding. A freestanding blue marble bathtub lined with Sodashi amenities. A chilled vitrine filled with daily deliveries of hand-made chocolates. Plus Michelin-starred room service, an in-room cocktail station, a DJ booth, VR gaming and a cinema screen – all are a part of the service at the world's most glamorous quarantine suite.
Priced at HK$49,500 (£4,772) per night for a single guest or HK$51,150 (£4,965) for two, the Entertainment suite at the The Landmark Mandarin Oriental is the latest room to be added to Hong Kong's official list of approved quarantine hotels. It's also the most expensive, with a 14-night stay (the compulsory length of quarantine in Hong Kong) coming in at a cool £66,800.

Covid: Ministers 'actively working on' quarantine hotels
"The government is "actively working on" requiring some travellers arriving into the UK to quarantine in hotels, Boris Johnson has said.
The prime minister said ministers were "definitely looking at" the idea, which has been implemented in Australia and New Zealand.
Senior ministers will discuss how the idea would work on Tuesday, including if anyone should be exempt.
It is understood arrivals would have to pay for their own accommodation costs."
