UK quarantine for int'l arrivals to be reviewed June 29

UK Transport Secretary said Friday that the new rule of quarantine for people arriving in the UK will be reviewed on June 29.

During the daily news briefing, Grant Shapps said the government will talk to airlines and countries about the review, but the priority is to make sure not to end up in a COVID-19 second wave situation.

The quarantine rules for international travellers came into force on June 8. Every person coming into the UK from abroad has to self-isolate for 14 days.

Only people working in specific cross-border jobs, such as lorry drivers, are exempt from the measure.
