<p>New measures introduced on 8 June require all passengers arriving in the UK, who
do not fall under a specified exemption, to self-isolate for 14 days to reduce cases
of COVID-19 being brought in from abroad and to help prevent a devastating second
wave of the disease.</p><p> </p><p>An assurance service is contacting a random sample
of non-exempted arrivals to check compliance. Where there is reason to suspect that
an individual is not complying, details will be passed to the relevant police force
who will consider enforcement action. Police will continue to take the 4 ‘E’s approach
of engage, explain, encourage and, as a last resort, enforce. Guidance on enforcement
activity is issued by the College of Policing. Interpretation of that guidance and
any subsequent action is an operational decision for the police.</p><p> </p><p>We
have seen high levels of compliance with the rules to date, and expect that the majority
of people will continue to do the right thing and abide by these measures.</p>
