Answer
All exemptions to the border measures are kept under regular review. The Government has introduced an exemption to managed quarantine for seamen and masters and inspectors and surveyors of ships. Offshore oil and gas workers must quarantine, but they can leave their accommodation when conducting the specific exempt activity or travelling directly to and from their accommodation and a location for the purposes of this work.
