What are the possible new UK quarantine rules for arrivals to the country?

After it was revealed this week that the UK Government is ‘actively looking at’ quarantining passengers flying into UK airports as part of their effort to update lockdown measures in the country, it has now been reported that the new quarantine rules will be introduced in the coming weeks.
New figures released this week revealed that of the 18.1 million people who travelled into the UK by air or sea after the outbreak of coronavirus but before Britain was put into lockdown, only 273 people were put into quarantine or asked to isolate due to the threat of spreading Covid-19.

This had led to criticism of the government’s decisions regarding screening and quarantine in the UK.

New arrivals into the UK are still not told to go into enforced quarantine or subject to screening procedures, making Britain one of the only countries in the world not carrying out such health checks.

It has been reported today that passengers entering the UK will be forced to go into a 14-day quarantine under new plans being drawn up by UK officials. A mandatory two-week quarantine is reportedly being considered for all travellers arriving into Britain.

The measure is understood to be just one of the new plans Boris Johnson will announce in his address to the nation on Sunday 10 May.

The Times revealed this morning that travellers arriving into the UK will have to provide an address of where they plan to self-isolate and could be fined up to £1,000 or even be deported for breaking quarantine under new government set rules.

If implemented, the new UK quarantine rules would apply to anyone entering the UK, including Britons who are returning from abroad.
