Travellers who break Britain’s COVID-19 quarantine rules will face fines and jail terms of up to 10 years, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said on Tuesday.
Under new rules that will come into force on Feb. 15, anyone travelling to the UK from a country on the UK’s travel ban list will be required to quarantine in a government-approved facility for a period of 10 days, at the cost of £1,750 ($2,412) for an individual travelling alone, Hancock announced in Parliament.
