The Foreign Secretary is in regular contact with other Cabinet ministers, including the Secretary of State for Health and the Home Secretary, to help coordinate the Government's response to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. We recognise the concern held by some returning citizens regarding quarantine facilities. Upon arrival, everyone should follow the UK's latest public health advice. Anyone who presents symptoms at check-in will be refused boarding to return to the UK, and will need to follow the advice of local authorities.
