New guidelines will require all international arrivals not on an unspecified shortlist of exemptions to self-isolate in their accommodation for 14 days on arrival into the UK. However, unlike other new measures announced by Boris Johnson, quarantine restrictions will not come into place on Wednesday (13 May).
The government said only that restrictions would be imposed “as soon as possible”.
“Further details and guidance will be set out shortly and the measures and list of exemptions will be kept under regular review,” it said in a briefing note.
