Question about Contact trace phone call.
I came recently from an amber country. This is my second day of quarantine already I received 2 phone calls from NHS contact trace folks. I am wondering if these phone calls are really checking and taking note of everything I’m saying or just a guy in the other end reading a script.

Flying via the USA
I know we can’t go to the USA just now, but can we fly from UK to the US, change connecting flights in New York or Miami, then go directly elsewhere? I’ve no idea if that’s the same as “going” to America? It’d be in the airport only, for a couple of hours.

Family holidays with older children to Amber destinations
Whilst the latest removal of self-isolation requirements for U18s and fully jabbed adults is welcome (well, maybe not to everyone...), it is a bit of a pain when you have a just-18 child in tow what hasn't been able to get both jabs, so falls in the gap. Is what it is... the same could be said for 19, 20, 21 etc year olds…
