Poland, Turkey Added to UK Quarantine List

People arriving into the UK from Turkey and Poland will be expected to self-isolate, as the countries are removed from the quarantine safelist.

Travellers from Spain, France, Portugal and parts of Greece are also currently expected to isolate for 14-days, meaning very few options remain open to holiday travellers.

Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba have also been declared dangerous for British visitors, with those returning from the Caribbean destinations now needing to self-isolate for two weeks.

At the same time, the penalties issued to people who breach self-isolation after returning from a non-exempt country will increase.

The penalties, which mirror those recently announced for those breaching self-isolation following a positive Covid-19 test or contact from Test & Trace, will now increase incrementally for repeat offenders - rising from £1,000 for first offences up to £10,000 for subsequent offences.
