The Quarantine Hotel Rules
Posted on 28th January 2021 at 15:31
The UK Government have announced new quarantine hotel rules for ANYONE arriving at a UK airport.
At the time of writing, a total of 30 countries are on a 'Red" list
These countries are in South America and South Africa AND Portugal. This is due to two new strains of Covid-19 originating from these areas.
PLEASE NOTE this list can change at any time
If you fly into the UK from these countries AND even if you are a UK citizen, you will be bussed to a quarantine hotel, where you will have to stay for 10 days. This is at your cost.
If you fly in from elsewhere, you will still need to quarrintine for 10 days (5 if another negative Covid test result) at your house or other declared address.
Please remember you can only fly into the UK with a negative Covid test result - regardless of your nationality and/or citizenship.
Although this is yet another hammer blow to the overall global economy, I personally agree with it. At the moment they are doing what they can to keep movement to a minimum in order to reduce any new surges in transmission. Let's hope this is the final travel policy before travel policy and restrictions can start to be eased.
ALSO BE ADVISED...
If you are flying out from a UK airport, you will be asked for the reason you are travelling. If it is deemed your trip is unnecessary, you will be stopped from flying and turned back. Unfortunately at the moment, that means holidays are deemed unnecessary.
Let's hope this policy is short lived. Whilst there is light at the end of the tunnel, PLEASE stay safe and keep looking after yourselves and others.
I really hope to see you all sooner rather than later
Thanks for reading !!!
