All international arrivals, including returning Britons, will have to self-isolate for 14 days and provide details of where they will be staying under the plans.
LONDON – Britain will introduce a COVID-19 quarantine for travellers arriving from abroad from 8 June, interior minister Priti Patel said on Friday, a measure that airlines have warned will devastate their industry.
Those who breach the quarantine in England could be fined 1,000 pounds , and spot checks would be carried out by health and border officials. In France, Britain’s closest neighbour on the continent of Europe, the government said it regretted Britain’s decision. It stood ready to impose reciprocal measures, AFP news agency cited the French interior ministry as saying.
“This approach will damage international business and investor confidence at a time when it is vital to demonstrate that the UK can open for business safely,” BCC Director General Adam Marshall said.
