Travellers from mainland Portugal to England will have to quarantine from 04:00 BST on Saturday, just a few weeks after the country was put on the safe travel list.
Wales and Scotland had already imposed the mandatory two weeks of self-isolation earlier this month.
Quarantine-free travel is still allowed from the Portuguese islands, the Azores and Madeira.
Meanwhile, Sweden has been added to the list of countries exempt from quarantine requirements. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said that because of "enhanced data" the government was able to assess the infection rates of islands separate to their mainland countries.
He also stressed that travellers must fill out the Passenger Locator Form on arrival to the UK, a day after the prime minister said enforcement of this part of the quarantine rules would be stepped up.
"It is a criminal offence not to complete the form and spot checks will be taking place," Mr Shapps said.
People travelling to England and Wales from Hungary, French Polynesia and Reunion will also be required to self-isolate, announced the UK government this Thursday.

Classic 'shoot the messenger' tactics, employed only when the message is unarguable.
From Harald on Twitter who describes himself as a "Citizen Producing Graphs".
Just like Stacey from New England, another eminently qualified clinician.

So I wonder if Stacy knows any more about Covid than the rest of us.
Being a journalist doesn't make people right!
You are right Chip!! Life is too short to waste time on his posts.
At least 67 young Belgians infected after holidays in Albufeira
Lusa
At least 67 Belgian youths, between 18 and 20 years old, are infected with covid-19 after returning from vacation in Albufeira earlier this month, being in isolation from home in Belgium, the authorities announced this Wednesday.
The news was given by the governor of the province of West Flanders, Carl Decaluwé, who, quoted by the Belgian press, says that young people were infected on vacation in the Algarve between the 2nd and the 12th of September.
About half of these 67 infected young people - who are in isolation from home - took part in a stay organized by the Belgian tour operator Summer Bash, specializing in trips for young people between 16 and 24 years old, while the rest rented a private home for their holidays.
According to Carl Decaluwé, “the number of young people infected is expected to increase”, as the Belgian authorities have not yet been able to trace all contacts of those who tested positive for covid-19. Altogether, 130 young Belgians spent their first holiday in Portugal with the tour operator Summer Bash, with the company recommending testing and quarantine
That link also does not relate to the graph. If Stacey and you want to be taken seriously you should check our sources. Where did you get your information that Sweden's death rate is declining?
https://www.statista.com/statistics/525353/sweden-number-of-deaths/ with an annualised figure of 100,624 it is way higher than any other of the last 10 years.
Reg, give up on this. If the best he can do is post tweets from Stacey in New Jersey he's not worth you challenging him.
There is another link in the tweet. There are many sources which show Sweden's overall death rate has been declining for many years and this year matches that general trend with no unusual increase on desths. Stacey Rudin is an independent journalist
