Sinovac vaccine & quarantine

[Thankyou22]

Hello all

Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.

My wife in Pakistan was recently granted her spouse visa. She had already been vaccinated and has her vaccine card/certificate as proof. The vaccine she had was the main one being given to everyone, the sinovac vaccine.
Pakistan is no longer on the red list. But the sinovac vaccine is not one of the vaccines mentioned by the UK. Will my wife have to quarantine in a hotel or not?
If not then that would be great news, but if she has to quarantine can she do it from home in the UK as Pakistan is not on the red list anymore?

Many thanks.

A person without an approved vaccine is not fully vaccinated. May quarantine at home in England.

Many thanks for the reply.

When you say "may quarantine at home in England", can I take that to mean 'she definitely can' quarantine at home once she arrives from Pakistan?

Thanks.

When you arrive in England – not fully vaccinated

After you arrive in England you must:

• quarantine at home or in the place you are staying for 10 full days
• take your COVID-19 PCR tests – you must book these tests before you travel
