How does UK quarantine work for visits specifically to see family?
I would like to see my parents who I haven't seen since February. They live within an hour's drive of Dover, I live within an hour's drive of Calais.
With the current Covid restrictions, people arriving from France (plus other countries) must self-quarantine for two weeks while they are in the UK, but they are allowed to leave the UK again before the two weeks is up - going to the UK for a day trip is therefore technically possible.
Seeing as my trip would be for the day and the only time I would leave the car would be to sit in my parents' back garden, am I breaking the quarantine restrictions? Is it even allowed? I have no other address to go to in the UK so can't isolate somewhere else as there is nowhere else to isolate.
Is there any official guidance on this sort of situation? What is the British interpretation of quarantine in the current context? Can I visit my parents or does quarantine make this impossible?
