The travel red list and hotel quarantine for people arriving into the UK from seven countries are set to be scrapped, it is reported.
The Telegraph claims ministers will meet today to discuss taking the remaining countries off the red list.
It would mean people entering the UK after having been in Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Haiti, Panama, Peru and Venezuela no longer have to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days after arrival.

It is likely unvaccinated arrivals will have to self-isolate at home and take two post arrival PCR tests, as is the case now for all countries not on the red list.
A Whitehall source said: "The Department of Health is minded to remove all the remaining countries from the red list given the public health advice.
"But the hotel quarantine policy will remain in place as a safety net, in case the situation changes. Countries could go on if there is a concern at some point in the future."
The new plan will come into effect from Monday December 1, says the Telegraph.
The paper also says there are plans to scrap the hotel quarantine system all together next year.
The red list was slashed from 47 countries to just seven earlier this month.
