Brits returning from China to be quarantined in a “Military Facility”
Ok, so you have just been on a very long flight from China and you are going to be quarantined for two weeks in a military base. Where do you fancy? No room at Akrotiri I suppose!

Any at Linton?
I assume that, having been in close proximity to the pax, the cabin crew [at least] might well need a fortnight at HM Pleasure somewhere salubrious.
Brize's salubrious 'Gateway House' currently gets a three-star rating on Trip Advisor, and is just a short bus-ride from the Voyager steps. Is there still some residual COLPRO expertise in the RAF Regt?
Or are they looking for a military facility?

I left the RAF Regt 12 and a bit years ago and have a fair bit of COLPRO experience and am more than happy to provide the service for the commensurate rate. I will of course provide all the poly sheeting walls sealed with bodge tape and drip trays full of Fuller's Earth. Currently I am employed wearing a pointy dark blue hat and I am certain the next "grow" I attend can donate the ducting and filtration equipment, our crims only use the finest. My username gives away my last role in the forces and as an added bonus I will be more than happy to give the evacuees the full practical experience if they so wish. I believe I am value for money and I await the phone call from MOD.
Macrihannish or Benbecula but Gruinard is still free, just drop tents and food.

Saxa Vord?
How about Saxa Vord? The old messing facility is now marketed as the Saxa Vord Resort, run mostly as a kind of up-market hostel with centralised feeding. They could even be given freedom to roam to some extent. A couple of weeks bad weather and people wouldn't want to go out even if they were able! It's off season at the moment, so a quick call top the owner ought to seal the deal.

It even has its own gin distillery:

I wouldn't want to leave!

A ship does sound ideal, requisition / hire a cruise liner, chuck them on that for a couple weeks in relative comfort with medical support, it's isolated but in a pleasant way.
