Can you clear up my Covid quarantining confusion?

Q You have said the “quarantine deadline” that we’ve seen from France, Holland and now Croatia is the time you need to be back in the UK from those countries. But on BBC News a lady was interviewed who was coming back from Croatia by ship to Italy, then waiting there for two days, then flying home to the UK, to avoid quarantine. Is she right or are you?

You have also said that if you change planes in a country that isn’t exempt you will need to quarantine. But shouldn’t passengers be warned about that? I’ve made a couple of searches for flights to Portugal, both on Skyscanner and British Airways, and they have included options via Paris and Madrid respectively. Some people might think that the fact that they’re being advertised makes them “safe”. What are the rules on warning prospective buyers?
