If passengers do not want to opt into the Test to Release scheme, they must self-isolate for 10 days and are still required to take the mandatory day 2 and day 8 tests.
PASSENGERS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR TEST TO RELEASE
Passengers arriving from Red countries are not eligible to opt into the Test to Release scheme.
Passengers arriving from Green countries are only required to take a day 2 test and do not need to quarantine unless that test result is positive. As such there is not a requirement to opt into the Test to Release scheme.
