Visiting UK for 1 week

Lizzy · by **Lizzy** » Mon Jul 27, 2020 11:10 am

I have flights booked for 31st July - 7th August, 1 week. Have read on Costa Blanca South forum that it's possible to go for just a few days without having to do the 14 days quaranteen in UK if you are a resident of Spain and take resident card with you. It gave a number to ring for reassurance, 0045 800 678 2767, which zi presumed was Home Office, but it comes up as not existing.

Anyone help please?

0045 is the country code for Denmark, shouldn't it be 0044 ?

I believe you can travel to the UK for just a few days BUT you will have to quarantine for the duration of the visit, makes it hardly worthwhile really.

Thank you for that. It certainly is worthwhile if you are going to visit family! Its not a holiday nor about going out, just seeing in petson one's family!

Again, i'm not sure if it is just quarantine or "self isolation" if you are mixing with other people, be they family or friends i would think they will have to quarantine too.

How to self-isolate in your accommodation

You should self-isolate in one place for the full 14 days, where you can have food and other necessities delivered, and stay away from others. You must self-isolate at the address you provided on the public health passenger locator form.
This can include:

your own home
staying with friends or family
a hotel or other temporary accommodation

You should not have visitors, including friends and family, unless they are providing essential care. The only friends and family who you can have contact with are those who travelled with you or people who you are staying with.
You cannot go out to work or school or visit public areas. You should not go shopping. If you require help buying groceries, other shopping or picking up medication, you should ask friends or relatives or order a delivery.
In England, you must only exercise within your home or garden. You cannot leave your home to walk your dog. You will need to ask friends or relatives to help you with this.
NHS Volunteer Responders are also available if you need help collecting shopping, medication or would like a telephone ‘check-in and chat’. Call 0808 196 3646 (8am to 8pm) to arrange volunteer support. You can arrange one-off support, or schedule more regular help whilst you are self-isolating.
In England, you can only leave your accommodation in limited circumstances. These include where:
