Q I arrived in Spain on Saturday for a week and have learnt that I will have to be in quarantine for two weeks from when I return on 1 August. But I have an easyJet flight from the UK to Italy on 10 August, which I guess I will have to change to after 15 August. What do you think?

A In your position, suddenly finding that you are obliged to self-isolate for 14 days upon your return from Spain, I might move the Italian flight – but earlier, not later. That’s because the only way to reduce the 14-day quarantine obligation is to leave the UK again before it is over.
