Covid: What are the quarantine rules when arriving in the UK?
Quarantine restrictions apply to people entering the UK from almost every country, as Covid rates
rise again.
This makes it difficult to make travel plans at the moment.
What are the quarantine rules?
People arriving in the UK from most countries - including British nationals - must self-isolate for
14 days.
Exceptions are made for people coming from countries in travel corridors with the UK,
or the Common Travel Area - Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man.
Travellers must fill in a ''passenger locator'' form, with contact details and their UK address.
Anyone who does not provide an address will have to pay for accommodation arranged by
the government.
For 14 days, starting from the day after arrival, people who are quarantining should not:
- Use taxis or public transport to reach their destination
- Go to work, school, or public areas
- Have visitors except for essential support
- Go out to buy food, or other essentials, if they can rely on others
If you have to self-isolate after a trip you may not get statutory sick pay, unless you meet
the required conditions - such as displaying coronavirus symptoms.
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have brought in their own rules, which vary slightly.
Can you be fined for breaking the rules?
Breaking quarantine rules is a criminal offence, and people who do it face a fine and potentially
a criminal record.
Those not self-isolating when they are supposed to can be fined £1,000 in England, Wales and
Northern Ireland, or £480 in Scotland. Fines in England for persistent offenders have doubled
to £10,000.
