Dozens of countries will be exempt from a travel quarantine from Monday, UK government sources have indicated.
Currently, most people arriving into the UK from anywhere apart from the Republic of Ireland have to self-isolate for two weeks.
Ministers had previously indicated they were working to establish a relatively small number of travel corridors.
Travel and tourism companies have been calling for urgent clarity over the corridors amid rising bookings.
Last weekend, the government said it would relax its advice on travel abroad and would rate countries as either green, amber or red, depending on the prevalence of the virus.
Now government sources have indicated that a very long list of countries is likely to be published by the end of this week.
It is possible that up to 75 countries deemed low or very low risk will be exempt from the UK’s quarantine from Monday, 6 July.
Some of the countries on this new list do still have restrictions on people travelling in the other direction, from the UK.
Other higher-risk countries, such as the US, will be categorised as red.
