	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2020 answer text <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> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 18/06/2020 13:20:28 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
