Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what support he is making available to British citizens who are having to travel through covid-19 amber list countries to re-enter the UK for business purposes.

From 19 July, arrivals from ‘amber list’ countries who have been fully vaccinated through the United Kingdom vaccination programme do not have to quarantine or take a day eight test after arrival in England. Those who are not fully vaccinated and are returning from ‘amber list’ countries currently must quarantine for 10 days at home and take a polymerase chain reaction test on or before day two and after day eight. They also have the option to end quarantine early on day five, following a negative test result.
