UK slaps 14-day quarantine on travellers from Turkey, Poland, and Caribbean isles
New quarantine rules kick in Saturday
From the early hours of Saturday, anyone arriving in England from Turkey and Poland must self-isolate for 14 days. The same applies to travellers from Bonaire, St Eustatius, and Saba.
Fines hiked for rule-breakers
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps warned the government is cracking down hard. Repeat offenders face a maximum fine of £10,000 for flouting quarantine rules.
Mainland Europe almost entirely on red list
With these new countries added, nearly all of mainland Europe is now on England’s “red list” of high-risk destinations requiring quarantine on return.
