Have some cop on and demonstrate some responsibility and show some respect for everyone else. Amazed you feel the need to ask that question. If people in a similar situation to you choose not to and someone gets Covid as a direct consequence of their actions then they should be prosecuted end of.  | |||

I filled out form in my phone but was not asked for it at airport this side I was in Spain. I stayed in a private villa and hardly went out. There were max 15 people on my return flight. Masks worn at all time when in public unless eating or drinking. Much more strict than over here. I’ve taken a test that was negative but I will still stay at home as I’m working from home anyway | |||

"Arrived back from a country on quarantine list, not stopped at passport control, so therefore not registered, do i still quarantine ? A colleague at work got back from holiday last week and hasn’t quarantined. From a country that was on the quarantine list at the time? From one that went on the list the day after she returned to work. " Then they don't have to quarentine  | |||

"Didn't you fill in the online form before returning to the UK, as should have done? That is the registration, not "being stopped at passport control". And yes, you should quarantine, just as we did when we got back from France."
I did the form online but it wasn't checked at the arrival airport. I'm still in quarantine.

"How on earth did you get past passport control without having your passport checked. I have never ever come into the UK without having passport checked. Are you special LOL ?" You've really never just walked back into the country? I've come through Dover many many times and the person in the booth sees the passports on your lap and waves you through. Sometimes I don't think they look if you arrive in a British vehicle. I've landed at English airports and been waved through, admitted passports in hand ready. And I landed back in Manchester t2 recently and whilst my passports went to the person, I don't think she opened them and no she never asked for my plf. I can legally travel and do all forms required, but in my personal experience, just holding a passport of the correct colour let's you straight in. | |||

"Arrived back from a country on quarantine list, not stopped at passport control, so therefore not registered, do i still quarantine ?" yes...... the reasoning as to why they don't do checks immediately on entry is that even if they did covid tests at airports you would only catch about 5% of the cases coming into the country.... whereas if the covid test is does 5 days after you come back then it would catch 87% of the cases coming in...... so quarentining for 7/10/14 days should mean that whatever you bring back should hopefully have left your system, or you would be unwell enough to have gotten a test in that time whilst quarentining | |||

Any infection caught could result in isolation, preventing any further infections. We also need to pay people to isolate, as it's unreasonable to assume that people will comply, if they are on zero hours - this holds primarily for the majority of people who are not incoming travellers but just in the UK population. | |||

"The answer is no !, they dont no were i am !!" they do though. As you give your details when you book your ticket. You are meant to fill the form in online before flying back but not before 48 hours before your flight. I'm back off to Sicily in a few weeks and entry has got stricter since I went a few weeks ago.

What!
Its nothing to do with that, go on holiday if you want but everyone knows that there is a chance you may find that with very little notice to may have to quarantine when you get home.
Don't go knowing the risks then moan about it. "I've never complained about quarantine. I stayed at home in isolation back in March and April and as I stated above and numerous times, follow all requirements, in each country. If I have to quarantine on return I quarantine end of. I actually pre ordered and pre paid for food shopping to be delivered to our home hours before we got home, that my dog sitter put away for us and we all stayed at home, despite not coming back from a country with a quarantine requirement. Many people travel, obey the rules and accept the risk! Some people don't obey the rules here or abroad, need to moan and find loopholes. | |||
