To enable the overseas deployment of Ministry of Defence personnel during the pandemic, Defence established a network of quarantine facilities to enable pre-deployment quarantine and testing to protect the health and operational effectiveness of the deployed force. While overseas, deployed forces seek to comply with UK and Host Nation guidance wherever practicable, including adhering to non-pharmaceutical interventions, increased hygiene regimes, symptomatic testing and isolation of cases and contacts.
