Quarantine – at home or in a hotel – will be punctuated by testing for virus on day 2 and day 8 of isolation
All travellers entering the UK will undergo a double-testing regime, the government is expected to announce next week, as part of quarantine plans to reduce the spread of new coronavirus variants.
The UK had already announced that passengers coming from countries on the government’s “red list” – a group of 33 high-risk nations – will have to take two tests during their 10-day stay at a quarantine hotel.
