Previously, the international quarantine rule for England allowed for people to self-isolate in the house of another person (e.g., family). T
he statutory instrument indicates that an international traveler can self-isolate in
"the home of a friend or family member” [Requirement to self-isolate, 4(4)b]
and that the international traveler does not need to isolate when
“from any member of the household of that friend or family member.” [Requirement to self-isolate, 4(8)c].
However, I don't know whether England Local Tier 2 and 3 restrictions now makes this unfeasible or not (i.e., that those tiers don't allow no mixing between households indoors and no overnight stays outside of current household)*.
Is an individual permitted to self-isolate in the home of a friend or family member even in an England Tier 2 area?
I ask within the context of arriving to England from international travel, on and after December 2nd 2020 which is the date that the England tiers would re-emerge if the passed, and before December 15th 2020 when the new test-out-of-self-isolation options become available.
I don't know which rules take precedence out of COVID Local restrictions vs. the self-isolation for international travel.
* I haven't seen proposed legislation or a draft bill for the COVID Local restrictions in England yet to compare, though I'd envisage it'd be an update and extension of the previous tier legislation so would take a similar form.
