Well you'll be happy because as from Thursday 0001hrs everything except business travel is banned.

How do they know it's business?

According to the gov website, you will need to show your travel is essential for your work and that is both in and out.
For example, you will need to provide a letter from your employer, a consignment note or your operator's licence.

There's a huge list of those exempt and can travel but you still need a letter from your employer with their contact details and your personal details plus a justification for either leaving or arriving which you will be asked to produce at border control.

Thanks M. Good reply.

Ridiculous that it was leaked that the travel ban was happening Thursday, I know people that have changed their flights to Wednesday to come on holiday here! And can’t imagine others aren’t doing the same
