Passengers arriving in the UK by plane, ferry or train - including UK nationals - will have to provide an address where they will remain for 14 days. There is a £100 penalty for anyone found to have not filled in this ''contact locator'' form. Surprise visits will be used to check they are following the rules. Those in England could be fined up to £1,000 if they fail to self-isolate , while governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland can also impose penalties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I don't think they do. Anyone returning to the UK will have to quarantine at home (unless it's from Ireland). Yes, I'm thinking that. British citizens returning to UK from any country outwith common travel area must quarantine for 14 days. Unless of course they are on exempt list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 This is basically just a ban on going on holiday for most people. It should boost the economy with British people spending more here rather than spunking all their cash in Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said earlier, it'll no doubt be lifted by the time us UK citizens are actually allowed to go anywhere making it really a non event for most of us. Yes. Most of Europe are planning on opening their borders by July, as such we'll likely follow suit. I just wish that they would come clean and make it clear that this quarantine situation is "likely" to be in place for the next 6 weeks or so, however it's certainly possible that we'll be able to travel abroad (and vice versa) by August or September. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a Tory (ie Patel on this occasion) says this is absolutely nothing to do with Brits and their holidays, it basically means it has everything to do with Brits and their holidays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't go to the mountains in Skye if your from Glasgow when you can go to Ben Lomond or the Cobbler same scenario with fishing and golf, stay local. Really not sure that it's entirely 'common sense' to push greater Glasgow's population towards the most local and already obvious hotspots in any decent weather anyway. The further that people can travel from the central belt then the more likely they are to actually disperse to different hillwalking routes, beaches etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i've mentioned before what's the greater risk between hitting a beach in Southend or Bournemouth with poor social distancing and thousands of drunken louts or spending a week touring Eastern Europe or even going to Spain, Italy or Portugal where they've got good infrastructure and social distancing in operation, not to mention less infections than the UK ?? According to the UK Gov, Britain is safer for some reason and I really can't fathom why ???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real enforcement is having to take 3 weeks off work to go away for a week. No one is doing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was meaning more the hills around the West coast, there is plenty quieter ones to choose from. Plus the parking for the Cobbler is about a tenner now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) The quarantine thing is to molly coddle the Mail and Express sector, it won't do a thing to cut down the infection rate whilst we've one of the highest. They'll announce more exclusions over the next few weeks so it's only Brazilian youth hostelers that it applies to.
