The UK government announced a 14-day home quarantine for all travelers (regardless of nationality) entering the country starting June 8, 2020, with limited exceptions for certain professions.
Travelers will also be required to complete a form to provide their contact details, including their residential address in the United Kingdom.
The quarantine will not apply to individuals entering from the Common Travel Area (Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man).
Health officials will undertake spot checks to ensure compliance with the measures. Anyone failing to comply with the mandatory 14-day quarantine will face up to a GBP 1,000 fine or possible prosecution.
The 14-day quarantine measures have been introduced in an attempt to prevent a second wave of COVID-19. For other measures undertaken in the United Kingdom in response to COVID-19, see Fragomen’s dedicated website.
The UK government will review the measures every three weeks to ensure that they remain in line with up-to-date scientific advice.
