Armed Forces: Quarantine
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether service personnel returning from overseas postings will (a) have to quarantine for 14 days or (b) be subject to test and release.
- Answer
-
All Service personnel arriving in the UK from a non-exempt country are required to self-isolate for a 10 day period. In addition, the MOD will by default comply with the requirement for pre-departure COVID-19 testing.
Although exemptions may be available under exceptional circumstances, the Test to Release scheme, where it is in operation, is the primary option for managing the delivery of Defence tasks against a self-isolation requirement. The scheme is available to personnel and can be accessed via gov.uk.
