Returning to the UK from South Korea with British passport
My brother, who has been in South Korea teaching English will be returning to the UK in July to assist our mom from having eye surgery.
British citizen with a British passport.
So far, I know SK is on the Amber list and he will have to take 2 tests upon arrival? tests will be ordered here i take it? https://quarantinehotels.ctmportal.c...tine/Home.aspx
on the form it says UK Delivery Address for your Covid kits - he will need to book a hotel close to heathrow airport yes? or is there a list of hotels that are part of quarantining?
and then I read this:
If you are arriving into England and have visited or passed through any countries on the 'amber list' in the 10 days prior to your arrival, you are required by law to self-isolate at home for 10 days, pay for, and take two PCR tests. You'll need to take your first test on or before day 2 of your self-isolation period, and your second test on day 8. This is called the Covid Testing Package.
define home?
any help would be appreciated.
I am one of those people who needs to know the a-b-c-d process.

Yes, it's on the amber list, so no need for a quarantine hotel (but do keep an eye on the lists to see if it changes between now and then). All of the info you need is here - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-q...ive-in-england
