Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether a UK national returning to the UK from a country on the Amber list under covid-19 travel restrictions is required to quarantine for 10 days at home.

Individuals should not travel to countries or territories on the amber and red list.

The Joint Biosecurity Centre (JBC) produces risk assessments of countries and territories. This risk is based on factors such as the level of community transmission of variants of concern or variant under investigation, levels of testing, genomic sequencing and reporting. A summary of the JBC methodology has been published on GOV.UK, alongside key data that supports ministers’ decisions.

Passengers arriving in England from amber-list countries are required to self-isolate in appropriate accommodation for 10 days, starting the day of their arrival in England.
