Travel: Quarantine
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he plans to take to ensure that people with health exemptions are able to self-isolate in their homes on return from red-list countries.
- Answer
-
In some extremely limited circumstances due to pre-existing severe medical conditions or vulnerabilities, an individual travelling from a red-list country may be incapable of entering a managed quarantine facility because they are unable to be supported there. These individuals may be granted an exemption from managed quarantine and be permitted to quarantine in their own accommodation.
Medical and welfare support is available to all in managed quarantine and emergency healthcare is available. The Department does not expect all individuals with a pre-existing medical condition to request or receive an exemption from entering a managed quarantine facility.
