Asked by: Baroness Meyer (Conservative - Life peer)
Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the proposed 14-day quarantine for those entering the UK will be adapted to reflect the different levels of COVID-19 infection and mortality in different countries; and whether holders of British Nationals (Overseas) passports, and their families, travelling from Hong Kong will be subject to the quarantine requirements.
Answered by Baroness Williams of Trafford - Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms (HM Household) (Chief Whip, House of Lords)
The Government is exploring all options to allow us to safely increase travel including international travel corridors. In due course more information will be published on the criteria that must be satisfied to lift these public health measures, or to move to a new approach.
From 8 June, all passengers arriving in the UK will be required to self-isolate for 14 days and could be contacted throughout this period to ensure compliance. This applies to all nationalities, including holders of British Nationals (Overseas) Passports and their families.
