Belgium tells Leicester arrivals to quarantine) from within a much (geographically) smaller and more 'condensed' country like Britain. Or is it that the ScoGov just wanted to be 'different from the English' and who cares about the jobs?
I am sure that Newcastle and Manchester airports will do better out of this 'ScoGov' decision though.
flying into England won’t mean you don’t need Quarantine for 14 Days if you live in Scotland. All four nations use the same Passenger Locator form where you give your flight details and address in the UK. If you don’t isolate for the 14 days and you have a Scottish address you could face a fine of £480 (Scots Law) even if you fly into English airport. If you give a a false address (saying your address is England, Wales or NI) in England on the form, to try and avoid the 14 day Quarantine in Scotland, you’ll be liable to a fine £1,000 (English law). The collection and checking the forms is with Border Force a Home Office law enforcement arm they have been told to check the final destination of the passengers. The passenger locator forms must be completed by all arriving passengers (small exemptions for diplomatic & NATO staff) wether they are required to quarantine or exempt, due to occupation or from the list of countries published by the relevant governments.
