Plans to impose a 14-day quarantine on international travellers arriving in the UK will be reviewed every three weeks, Downing Street has said.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman told a Westminster briefing: “The PM has said that those arriving in the UK from overseas will be required to self-isolate in order to prevent infections from abroad and a second wave of cases.
“The work on this is continuing and we will set out more details in due course.”
Number 10 insisted that there had never been an exemption for France, but said there would be an exemption for Ireland as part of the common travel area.
Asked how long the quarantine regulation would last, the spokesman said: “Any changes brought in will be subject to a rolling review every three weeks to ensure they are in line with the latest scientific advice and that they remain effective and necessary.”
