<p>Our priority is to protect the public’s health, to contain the spread of the virus
and prevent a second wave.</p><p>Since 8 June, rules have been in place for entering
the UK because of COVID-19. The rules are for residents and visitors. Passengers need
to provide journey and contact details when travelling to the UK and will not be allowed
to leave the place they are staying for the first 14 days except in very limited situations
(known as self-isolation).</p><p>Passengers arriving in the UK are required to self-isolate
for 14 days and can be contacted throughout this period to ensure compliance.</p><p>Since
10 July travellers will not have to self-isolate if arriving and staying in England
from a country or territory on the travel corridors list. Travellers will still have
to provide journey and contact details. You can find the latest Travel Corridors list
by following this link:</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-travel-corridors.</p><p>Travellers
will still be required to self-isolate if they have visited or stopped in any country
which is not on the list in the previous 14 days.</p><p>A limited number of exemptions
to the measures have been agreed. For example, those travelling in order to maintain
essential supply chains, or our national infrastructure or who are contributing to
the crisis response will not be required to self-isolate.</p><p>A full list of exemptions
to the requirements to provide locator details or self-isolate can be found on GOV.UK
at the following link:</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-travellers-exempt-from-uk-border-rules/coronavirus-covid-19-travellers-exempt-from-uk-border-rules.</p><p>The
need for the restrictions is regularly reviewed. The reviews are guided by the scientific
advice and consider factors such as the domestic and international incidence of COVID-19,
and the level of infection and transmission. The economic impact of the measures,
and new initiatives being trialled to secure safe travel, are also considered during
these reviews.</p>
