- If you have been in a red list country in the 10 days before you arrive in England, you must quarantine for 10 full days in a managed quarantine facility. Before you travel to England, book and pay for a quarantine package which includes your hotel quarantine, transport and COVID19 testing on day 2 and on or after day 8.
