Fixed penalties starting at £ 200 will be imposed on those who do not follow the rules, but these penalties will be doubled for subsequent offenses, up to a maximum of £ 6,400.
Inbound international travel will continue to be governed by the “travel corridor” approach.
Germany and Sweden were removed from the UK travel corridors list after both were considered to be at increased risk of infection due to the increase in confirmed coronavirus cases in each country.
Passengers arriving in the UK from Germany and Sweden after 4am on Saturday 7th November will need to self-isolate for 2 weeks before then following national regulations.
Anyone arriving in the UK from all destinations on the government travel broker list will need to comply with all applicable national regulations. Passengers traveling from a non-exempt country, territory or region will also need to self-isolate for two weeks.
In England, everyone is required to stay home and can leave only for a very limited set of reasons, including work or education.
This means that people can no longer travel for vacations or travel internationally, unless it is for work or other legally permitted reasons. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has updated its travel tips to reflect this.
Fixed penalties starting at £ 200 will be imposed on those who do not follow the rules, but these penalties will be doubled for subsequent offenses, up to a maximum of £ 6,400.
People currently in Germany and Sweden are advised to end their trip as usual, following local rules and consulting the FCDO travel tips pages on GOV.UK for more information.
All travelers, including those from exempt destinations, will be required to show a completed passenger locator form upon arrival in the UK, unless they belong to a small group of exemptions.
Penalties for those who violate the self-isolation rules when traveling from non-exempt countries are £ 1,000 for the first offense, with the penalties for subsequent offenses increasing to £ 10,000.
These penalties reflect the penalties for those who violate self-isolation after a positive COVID test or Test & Trace contact.
