Britain said it would bring in tighter border controls from Monday 15 February to help guard against new variants of Covid-19, requiring hotel quarantine in England for those arriving from the most high risk countries.

"We're setting up a new system of hotel quarantine for UK and Irish residents who have been in red list countries in the last ten days," Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said.

More details will be published on Thursday, but Mr Hancock said security would be present at the hotels. Travellers arriving into England face fines and even prison if they flout rules as part of the policy designed to stop the spread of Covid-19 variants from the most at-risk countries, Mr Hancock said.
