Both Husband and wife are going to their place of work Monday Morning

Legally they don't have to isolate as they were back within the guideline time. People can be infected coming from any country or get infected in this country. I wouldn't be sending the children to the grandparents though.

If they made it back before the deadline, then they are under no legal obligation to isolate. It also means they don't qualify for financial assistance. There has to be a time based cut off somewhere and you will never get everyone. The certainly should take all the precautions they can though to minimise contact with other people for a couple of weeks.

They flew in before the deadline. There's nothing more to be said really. Even if they disembarked at 03:59 they still wouldn't need to isolate.

Same. I guess it's because a lot of countries value our economic contribution.

The thing is whatever deadline is put in place there will always be people arriving just before it. I don't its useful or helpful to start suggesting that people who are sticking to guidelines shouldn't be doing things they're actually allowed to do.

Not the same. I can leave the house and not be within 2 metres of anyone. Going through an airport with hundreds of other people and being sat in close contact with others on an aeroplane is very very different.

Valid point, but lots of people are leaving the house to go on a public transport, places of work where simply social distancing couldn't work, pub etc etc

Legally no. They don't have to, if we're jumping on the follow the rules theme that so many aren't, in this case they don't have to isolate.

A good point is the UK and definitely specific areas have a much higher rate of infection than many the places the flights are arriving from, but it only takes one on a plane to infect so many others.

Everyone going abroad knows the risks and the changing rules mean potentially you may have to isolate on return.

My friend went to europe a couple of months ago. Went from croatia, to italy, to Malta. I believe he missed the isolation period for travellers from Croatia to italy by a couple of days, then missed the malta deadline by 4 hours and 5 minutes. He didn't have to quarantine and he didn't kill his granny.

If th4y were finding you 50 quid then I would agree it couldn't be policed.

But I think what you call extortionate will make it possible to police...so if you cant take the hit dont do the trip.

Would it have been a better idea would be to issue a mandatory covid test to all arrivals and factor the cost into their air ticket or make it a condition of entry?

Just because they went on Holiday doesn't mean that they have caught the Virus - Just because they are coming home hours before a deadline doesn't mean that they have caught the Virus.

If they haven't caught it in - those scenarios - then chances are that they have been careful while away and don't have it now.

And like you say already - before the 4am cutoff they don't legally have to do anything.

The Law really can't run on what ifs. Otherwise you would be screaming foul play if you were prosecuted for traveling within a legal speed limit.

My grandson, is studying at home at the moment, but he has friends in several different unis, who have Covid and have been fined, for not social distancing , outside of uni and not wearing masks when needed, so they are enforcing it in some places. This was Leicester, Nottingham and Leeds.

They don't have to isolate any more than people flying in from a safe corridor who had been surrounded by infected people do.

I'd be monitoring my health and potentially get tested at the first signs of any symptoms. I don't know how much safer it is in Turkey than the UK but assume it is perhaps.

Many more people who refuse to isolate aren’t being caught than adhere. The government know they can’t stop the majority, so by making it a big one they’re hoping it’s policing itself by deterring.

I know several families recently returned who are taking their chances.

Tbh I hope they get caught if that's the case....they took the holiday knowing there was every chance of isolation measures could be brought in.

I know someone will point out that they might have booked it before the pandemic...but that's just bad luck.

ive just been abroad and have 2 days left of isolation ... i am no more ill or infectious from going abroad than i could have been if i went to tesco

i understand the reason for quarantine where the rates are higher than the uk so you are increasing your risk (where i was was actually much lower) and i obeyed the rules to the letter because its the responsible thing to do

however the reality is unless we can eradicate the virus from our own country and then start isolating everyone entering (like they have done in perth) there really isnt a huge benefit to isolating everyone and the have closed the gate long after the horse has bolted

We are flying back tonight and have to isolate.

Still believe the Swedish and few others more relaxed aproach is far better in a long run, then all the half measures most of the world has implemented.

The way I see it is that the covid-19 is active 24/7, it does not start contaminating flights at 04:00hrs onwards

If you are flying home you may be bringing the virus with you without knowing or indeed you may have picked it up in-flight which is even worse as you will probably not have symptoms for 3 or 4 days or possibly longer

During that time, you have met up with family, and also been back to work, working with work colleagues

But similarly - you could have just caught Covid from a Banana in Tesco or a fuel pump at Esso or a person who just coughed and you walked through the mist or the air-con in Marks and Spencer or any number of billion other places - just because someone has been on holiday makes them no more or no less a risk of having caught it than you right now this minute if you are in any public space. The virus can live on hard surfaces for up to 72 hours. Who went past your car and touched anything you might touch 50 hours later or any other hard surface.

There needs to be a cut off or you would be saying well what about the people the day before and the day before that.

Tests aren’t accurate anyway, I know someone who had 4 negative tests and was that poorly they were taken to hospital and there it showed up in her bloods but not by a swab so how many think they are clear when they are not?

in tesco you wear gloves & mask, and also clean hands on leaving, duration - 20 mins max

Fuel stations provide gloves, you also have your own gloves, well perhaps "you dont" but most do, and you clean hands after, duration 2 - 3 mins

a person coughing, ehhh social distancing, they would not get that close anyway + masks

M&S again you wear masks & social distance with a minimum time spent in shop

you say there is the same risk being in an open public space as there is on a packed aircraft with a 5 hour flight, then good luck to you

if so many believe that then no wonder the UK is in such a bad place right now

so many people have such a lack of understanding of this virus or they simply fail to believe.

good luck.

when i go to the supermarket around only half the people are wearing masks, i have no idea how many of them used the hand sanitiser but we are all handling items on shelves and the cashier handles every item which we then touch again as we pack the shopping, i never see people wearing gloves in supermarkets but since they don’t help anyway that doesn’t bother me (they touch everything your skin would touch just the same)

on my recent flight there was a grand total of 21 people ... we had a few rows each so were well spaced out

masks must be worn from the minute you get inside one airport , all through the flight, til you leave the arriving airport (actually in tenerife i had to keep it on til inside my apartment as you wear them in the streets there too)

the airports are practically empty

the air hosts only bring the trolley down once and collect rubbish once to avoid too much interaction, all payments are made by contactless card

you must ring the call bell to be allowed to use the bathroom so there is no queueing in the aisles and you aren't allowed to wander about the plane to stretch your legs like you normally would

if you think a flight is of any higher risk than a trip to wetherspoons then i think you are incorrectly basing it on your flight experience pre covid and maybe you shouldn’t judge on what you clearly have no idea about

"I don't understand why you would post this on a swinging site to ask strangers to cast judgment.

It's posted in the virus section, asking an opinion

I get that but why. These people are apparently his friends

Well I don't think he's said anything unkind, it's just a talking point

I posted here because this part of the forum is for Covid-19 related issues and conversation

The way I see it is that the covid-19 is active 24/7, it does not start contaminating flights at 04:00hrs onwards

If you are flying home you may be bringing the virus with you without knowing or indeed you may have picked it up in-flight which is even worse as you will probably not have symptoms for 3 or 4 days or possibly longer

During that time, you have met up with family, and also been back to work, working with work colleagues

If it was myself, I would isolate or at least request testing before returning to work or coming into contact with others,

I guess we are all different and have different views on what we should and should not do.

"

this is a waste of test and part of the reason we don't have enough spare testing capacity for people who need it ... people who have expanded the guidelines for their own paranoia and convinced themselves its their moral obligation to ensure they are negative just because

just wash your hands, wear a mask, keep a distance like everyone else has been told to
