Travellers into the UK must fill out an online form before arrival: Failure to have a filled-out form on arrival in an airport, port or Channel Tunnel terminal could net you a £100 (€112) fine. The rules apply to everyone entering the UK, both British citizens and foreigners. Unlike most European countries, the UK has had no border restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic, but from Monday, June 8th, it has introduced a quarantine for all international arrivals.
