All arrivals to Britain will be quarantined for two weeks to stop second coronavirus peak

ALL people arriving in the UK will be quarantined for two weeks to stop a second coronavirus wave, Boris Johnson is set to announce.

Holidaymakers and travellers arriving into the country - including Brits - at ports and airports will be forced to self-isolate for a fortnight, or risk a £1,000 fine or deportation.

The Prime Minister is set to make the announcement in a televised address to the nation on Sunday evening, The Times reports.

New arrivals will have to fill in a digital form to give UK officials a forwarding address where they will be self-isolating for the next 14 days, but travellers from Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man will be exempt.

Key workers and lorry drivers could also be allowed to dodge the requirement.

Authorities making spot checks will be able to punish anyone breaking the rules with fines of up to £1,000 or deportation.

It is expected the new measures to curb the Covid-19 outbreak will come into place at the start of June.

The move comes as Britain's death toll rose to 31,241 on Friday after 626 more deaths were recorded in 24 hours - including a six-week-old baby.

Airline and tourism bosses fear the two-week quarantine move could kill off any lingering hopes of British holidaymakers heading abroad this summer, signalling another hammer blow for the industries.

Mr Johnson will unveil his "road map" on the new lockdown rules at 7pm on Sunday, but has cautioned any relaxation of the measures will be done with "maximum caution".

It comes after Wales announced it  will allow exercise more than once a day and garden centres to re-open next week.

First Minister Mark Drakeford today confirmed the changes, with the UK Government set to unveil similar plans on Sunday.

Mr Johnson is also expected to announce that Brits can exercise more than once a day and visit garden centres from next week.

But most the main restrictions are expected to last until June, with a phased return of pupils to schools expected.

And there are concerns over risks involved in any move to allow people from more than one household to form a small “bubble”.

The government has come under fire for continuing to allow flights to land in the UK without passengers being screened for Covid-19 symptoms.

Until now, passengers on regular commercial flights have been free to enter Britain without temperature checks or having to self-isolate.

In most cases they have simply received leaflets detailing information on symptoms.

Around 15,000 passengers a day arrived in the UK last month.

Airport Operators Association (AOA) chief executive Karen Dee said she has not received any details yet about a mandatory 14-day quarantine for all travellers into the UK.

She told BBC Breakfast: "That would have a really big impact on our sector, but at the moment we don't have very much detail about what that would mean."

Ms Dee added: "We see passenger numbers typically down by about 98% now in the UK. So, you know, a lot of airports now are closed for passenger traffic.

"There are very few flights coming in and that means no revenue, so we're really having to adjust and see our way through."

Speaking in April, Health Secretary Matt Hancock admitted the equivalent of 105,000 passengers a week were flying in from countries including China, Italy and the US - all of which have serious outbreaks of the deadly bug.

This week, a panel of experts set up to rival the Government's own recommended "taking advantage" of Britain's island status and closing the borders.

They called for an immediate rollout of border controls to prevent more infected people coming in.
