Hotel rooms may be made available to quarantined travelers, but the latter must, with some exceptions, pay accommodation costs. Fines of up to 1,000, or even 10,000 pounds (1,100 to 11,000 euros) are provided for offenders.
Travelers who refuse to be tested will have to undergo a 14-day isolation. Non-French travelers arriving through France also have twelve hours to transit until their arrival in Jersey.
