A ban on overnight stays may be part of new, tighter lockdown restrictions set to come into force across England, it has been reported.
The ban will come into force in some parts of England next week, according to the BBC, but it's not yet clear if the rules apply only to homes, or if it will also include hotels, guest houses and holiday lets.
The broadcaster's political editor Laura Kuenssberg has said a formal announcement is not likely until Monday.
Additional measures may include closing pubs and restaurants in some parts of the country, in a bid to tackle the rising Covid-19 infection rates in cities such as Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle, Yorkshire Live reports.
Downing Street and the Department of Health and Social Care both declined to comment on the reports.

It comes after Scotland announced a temporary ban on most pubs, restaurants and licensed cafes selling alcohol indoors.
Five Scottish health board areas are affected by the new rules - including Greater Glasgow & Clyde, Lanarkshire, Ayrshire & Arran, Lothian and Forth Valley.
Outdoor bars, restaurants and cafes will be allowed to remain open up until 10pm and will be allowed to sell alcohol up to that time.
Speaking on Nicola Sturgeon said: “Let me be clear. We are not going back into lockdown today.
“We are not closing schools, colleges or universities.
“We are not halting the remobilisation of the NHS for non-Covid care. And we are not asking people to stay at home.
“So while the measures I announce today will feel like a backward step, they are in the interests of protecting our progress overall.
“It is by taking the tough but necessary action now, that we hope to avoid even tougher action in future.”
There is no indication yet of any similar such measures being introduced in Wales, where coronavirus cases continue to rise.
On Wednesday (October 7), the number of cases of Covid-19 rose by the most ever in a single day in Wales as 752 more positive diagnoses were reported.
Every single local authority saw a rise, as the country's weekly infection rate jumped to 92.6 per 100,000 people.
First Minister Mark Drakeford previously said that local authorities are placed on a watch list when cases reach a rate of 20 per 100,000 people over seven days. Local lockdowns are typically implemented if this figure reaches 50.
