UK quarantine plans to force arrivals to isolate for 14-days set out
Plans to force arrivals to the UK to isolate for 14 days have been unveiled by Home Secretary Priti Patel.
She told the Commons that Border Force will check that travellers fill out a form with their contact details and location for isolation on arrival."We will not allow a reckless minority to put our domestic recovery at risk," she said. Ms Patel told MPs that scientific advisers had said quarantine would not have been effective earlier in the pandemic when infection rates in the UK were higher.
But now imported cases of the virus pose a more significant threat, she said, so it is now important to"protect our hard-won progress as we move in the right direction".
