"I am only there 5 nights so even if it gets added to the list next Thursday I will be home before 4am the next Saturday so won't need to quarantine"
I've not been keeping up with travel updates, is the govt only adding new countries to the quarantine list on a Thursday? |

"I know it is selfish but I am delighted Turkey is not on the list. I will be going there on Saturday. "
Alas it’s only not on there at the moment Sally but fingers crossed for you.

You might have got it whether you arrived back in the UK at 3.55am or 4.05am . The risk to the UK public health is not determined by a watch . |

"There is risk to public health through high infection rates in Manchester (as an example) but the government haven't shut the pubs and restaurants there. "
Indeed. Quarantine from foreign travel needs to be ended. It's ridiculous. |

All incoming flights should be quarentine and the person presented with the cost at the end of there cheap holiday might stop idiots booking flights just cos they think it’s there right to have a holiday whilst people. Are dying around them |

There's discussion about the government paying for nice hotel rooms and full board to make it more attractive to quarantine |

Agreed. "

or get the plan Heathrow has offered up and running. I'm off again in a few weeks and going regardless.
I accept going away that I may have to quarantine |

Having recently got back from France, and currently on day 5 of quarantine, I really have to question the usefulness of the 14 day quarantine. I had to fill out the Govt passenger contact form online no earlier than 48 hours prior to returning to the UK.
The form starts off by asking for a telephone number (fair enough), then you have to select one of the following options:
A) I can be contacted via telephone or text
B) I can only be contacted by telephone
C) I can only be contacted by text
D) I cannot be contacted by telephone or text.
Given that the form says "you may be contacted by a phonecall or text message to verify you are quarantining".... |

Well presumably if say only text then they won't try to call you and visa versa |

It's the last option I query,
I cannot be contacted by telephone or text
Kind of negates the whole quarantine purpose really. The uncertainty of being contacted if you choose to break it. |

It also says you need to have the form checked/ scanned at UK arrival airport. No-one was checking forms when I got back.  |

Same here at border control. I handed over my passport as usual, the guy checked it, then asked if I'd completed the contact form, I said "yes" and he said "ok, fine" and waved me on. |

If you choose the last option then you have to say why in another text box. They would then presumably contact you through you alternative contact entry. |
