The first bit was a joke and the second part is what the government have said that they will quarantine where they work. So not all utter b####x I'm afraid.

Don't forget to quarantine yourself for 14 days upon arriving back in the UK.
Oh, did you know that Belgium has the worst Covid 19 outbreak in Europe? The death rate per million is nearly twice that of the UK. They may well be a smaller country and their overall numbers significantly lower than ours but their death rate is the second worst in the world (were the 5th worst hit country btw).
Let's hope that this diplomatic row gets sorted quiçkly and our government works with our EU partners to resolve the situation.

The following people will be exempt from voluntary quarantine, except if they show symptoms:
- people in transit to another country;
Yeah, because people who have an onward flight 24 hours after arriving at Heathrow sit in the hotel room, of course they don't go to see Big Ben and the "big wheel"...
That's cos the seasonal fruit pickers are held captive on the farm they go to and aren't allowed to go anywhere else so they say they quarantine where they work.
My local farm bus about 30 of them to the local Aldi every week
. When they aren't working, they are roaming the streets.
"Don't forget to quarantine yourself for 14 days upon arriving back in the UK"
Brits won't do it. Those here for business won't do it. Those here on holiday won't do it. Those onward travelling won't do it. Those who fly here to get onto cargo ships won't do it.... completely futile exercise and will not be monitored.
Those who arrive on dinghy's in the channel get their details taken and told to go to Croydon in two weeks time to claim asylum.

This on connexion in France
Travellers arriving in France from the UK - regardless of nationality - will be invited to enter a voluntary two-week quarantine upon arrival, from June 8, the French government has said.
The new rule was confirmed in a press release issued by the French ministry of foreign affairs in an effort to continue the fight against Covid-19.
The statement suggests that the quarantine will be voluntary.
This is in contrast to the UK's rules, which will include fines of up to £1,000 (€1,115) and spot checks at quarantine addresses for people arriving in the UK.

There has been no suggestion that France will spot check or fine visitors arriving in France at this stage.

It's an interesting one this as it's voluntary. For a normal one week trip you will declare yourself back at French customs at Calais within the 14 day quarantine period. You'll be at the mercy of the French border authorities at this point having breached the request to isolate. Perhaps they will simply say go home or perhaps they won't 😂
This of course also relies on the French lifting the 100k travel restrictions on 15 June.

The French Prime Minister is to address the country this Thursday (May 28) to detail the second phase of deconfinement, including whether bars and restaurants will reopen, and if travel beyond 100km will be allowed.
A new colour map - updated from the previous one published on May 7 - will show which departments will be considered “green” or “red” for the purposes of the next stage of deconfinement.
This is based on three criteria in the given department: how much the virus is spreading, how stretched the local intensive care services are, and how many tests are available for the general public.
According to predictions made by news service FranceInfo, it is suggested that come June 2, only Île-de-France might still be in red.
The rule that limits travel to within 100km of your home (as the crow flies) may change on June 2. Junior transport minister Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne said in an interview this week that “a significant expansion” of this radius may be possible.

With EasyJet commencing flights from UK to France from 15th June, maybe they'll include an update this Thursday on travel into France for tourism.
