Sorry posted for traffic . Name changed as have spoken to friends about this also and don’t want link back to my regular account

Won’t go into massive sob story as i am really just looking to establish legalities here rather than argue over any moral aspects !

DM desperate to visit me and dc ( and us to see her!) She lives abroad ( non British citizen , i am ) We are planning on later in the summer in the hope things may have died down . However , both the 14 day quarantine on arrival in the U.K. and the law which makes it illegal for non household members to stay over can potentially remain in place untill 2021 I believe .

all the guidance for visiting the U.K. still states you can stay with friends or family as long as you self isolate at that address and you provide that address before your departure . It also says that friends or family may pick you up from the airport in order to avoid public transport.

So my question is how does that work ? surely the “new” law about households mixing contradicts her being able to self isolate at my home ? Or is it different because she doesn’t live in the U.K.?

Does anyone here by any chance have any expertise in this area ? Or know who I could speak to to clarify this ?

My friend said “call the embassy “ but I’d feel a bit of a twat in the middle of a pandemic calling them up to ask about my mum coming for a visit !!

The ideal situation is to wait untill things calm down and she will travel Under more normal circumstances . But I’m also trying to plan for if these restrictions remain for a long time, as not seeing her feels to much to bare at the moment

Thanks for any help

Dont cross bridges until you get to them. This is a situation which needs sorting out the week before she travels. Both in booking her tickets and looking at local laws for travellers. Anything else is just foolish

Yes I know you are right Sad I think it’s just im in a panic I won’t get to see her at all this year. I’d at least like to hope it’s a possibility but you are correct things change all the time
