Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether there are any exemptions from hotel quarantine requirements for people with mental health conditions.

There are very limited exemptions to the requirement to book and enter managed quarantine if a person has been in a ‘red list’ country at any point in the 10 days prior to their arrival into England. These exemptions are available at the following link:

If someone has concerns about being in a quarantine hotel on health or wellbeing grounds, they can seek an assessment by a medical professional after check-in.
