How it works
All arriving passengers will be required to fill in a contact locator form with contact and travel information so they can be reached if they, or someone they may have been in contact with, develops the disease. Travelers who arrived back in England before July 10, 2020 should self-isolate for 14 days, as the exemption rule above only applies after this date. A breach of self-isolation would be punishable with a £1,000 fixed penalty notice in England or potential prosecution and unlimited fine. The level of fine could increase if the risk of infection from abroad increases. For more information see here.
