The Government has today published new guidance on a system of quarantine for people coming into the UK, aimed at preventing transmission of COVID-19.
From 8th June people arriving in the UK must self-isolate for 14 days, subject to some exemptions.
The exemptions attached to today’s quarantine measures recognise a number of critical roles for medicine supply and for the continued R&D effort to find COVID-19 vaccines and treatments and will support our members. Dr Richard Torbett, Chief Executive, ABPI
In response to today's announcement, ABPI Chief Executive Richard Torbett said:
“The exemptions attached to today’s quarantine measures recognise a number of critical roles for medicine supply and for the continued R&D effort to find COVID-19 vaccines and treatments and will support our members.
"Pharmaceutical companies are global, and require fast access to the best talent around the world. We will work closely with Government over the coming weeks to ensure that these plans support our members to carry out this work as effectively as possible.”
