Visiting The UK
Hi Folks
Quick question - does anyone know if there is any mandatory quarantine when you fly to the UK from Dubai? Thanks |
Re: Visiting The UK
Short answer. No quarantine but you need to self isolate for 14 days when entering UK from UAE.
TLDR According to this list: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavi...val-in-england UAE is not on the list of countries not requiring self isolation meaning it is required. Updates to the list are also here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavi...-corridor-list And instructions on how to self isolate are here: https://www.gov.uk/government/public...avel-to-the-uk NB. Quarantine and self isolation can be seen as different. Quarantine suggests a separate facility, typically government approved and controlled in some way. Self Isolation being simply to keep your self isolated from all other people in your own property. |

Isn't it obvious? If you're isolating, then by definition you can't come and go (unless you're Dominic Cummings).

Who must self-isolateThese rules are for UK residents and all visitors coming into the UK.You will need to complete a public health passenger locator form unless you are travelling within the Common Travel Area, and have been in the Common Travel Area for the past 14 days. If you’ve been outside the Common Travel Area at any time in the last 14 days you will need to complete a public health passenger locator form. You do not need to self-isolate if you’re travelling from an exempt country and have been in an exempt country for the last 14 days. You should check the list of exempt countries before you travel. Exempt countries include all parts of the UK, the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. If you travel from an exempt country but have been in a country that is not exempt within the last 14 days, you will need to self-isolate for the remainder of the 14 days since you were in a non-exempt country. If you transit through a country that is not exempt you will be required to self-isolate for 14 days. For example, if you arrive in the UK from a country that is exempt, but you travelled to the exempt country 4 days ago from a country that is not exempt you will need to self-isolate for 10 days. If you’re travelling to the UK for less than 10 days you will need to self-isolate for the length of your stay. There are other reasons why you might not need to self-isolate. Read the detailed guidance on who does not need to self-isolate. If you are exempt, you will still need to stay alert and stay safe. |

Edit: re-reading, perhaps you meant come and go from the UK, rather than come and go (from your place of isolation) once you're in the UK. Even so, what's the point going to the UK and just staying in isolation then coming straight back again? |
Re: Visiting The UK
Make the rules vague AND make no attempt to police them. A recipe for disaster. Are we surprised ?

I'm still confused. The definition of isolation is not being in contact with others. Are you asking whether you can come and go, as long as you don't come into contact with others (i.e. go for a walk on your own in the countryside)? Or something else?

Re: Visiting The UK
But what's the point of flying to the UK in order to spend 14 (or fewer) days in isolation, before flying straight back out again? Have Greggs started home deliveries or something?

Re: Visiting The UK
But if you're seeing your son then you're not self-isolating. Or will he then go into isolation for 14 days too?
