On 25 April 2020, the UK government planned to request passengers who arrive in the UK to quarantine for two weeks due to the current COVID-19 crisis. This will apply to all passengers who are entering from outside of the UK and any British citizens returning from abroad.

More than 130 countries have introduced a different set of travel restrictions, quarantine and bans on travel from high-risk areas and a two-week quarantine on arrival has already been implemented in many countries such as Australia, China, New Zealand and South Korea.

Officials are planning to set up a scheme and enforce compliance next month, including large fines or even criminal prosecution.

The government also intends to launch a ‘track and trace’ strategy to identify and isolate cases of COVID-19 in the UK. It has been suggested that the authorities might visit registered addresses of arrivals to ensure travellers are not breaking their quarantine.
