I am planning to go to England for 2 days in preparation of moving (I already have a place rented and would be staying there) a few weeks later. I am coming from a country where I would need to do a 14 day quarantine as soon as I enter England.

Does this mean that I have to stay in England for 14 days or can I leave the country before the end of the 14 day quarantine without facing a penatly?

I have found no information about what the rules are for planned stays of less than 14 days on the official website, while this site seems to say that short trips are OK.

Official sources would be appreciated.

CDC: 14-day quarantine still best, but 10 or 7-day periods work in some cases
