UPDATE 2-Turkey and Poland put on quarantine lists in England and Scotland

(Adds Scotland's decision to also expand quarantine)

LONDON, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Travellers arriving in England and
Scotland from Turkey and Poland will have to self-isolate for 14
days from early on Saturday, officials said as they expanded
their COVID-19 quarantine lists.

Data from Poland showed a rising rate of positive tests
alongside a rapid increase in cases while Turkey has been
defining the number of new COVID-19 cases in a different way to
international organisations, British transport minister Grant
Shapps said on Thursday.

The Caribbean islands of Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba were
also added to the coronavirus quarantine lists of England and
Scotland.

"You MUST self-isolate if you enter the UK from a non-exempt
country - from tomorrow, we’re increasing the penalties for
people who refuse to do so to a maximum of 10,000 pounds for
repeat offenders," Shapps said on Twitter.

Travellers arriving in England and Scotland after 4 a.m.
(0300 GMT) on Oct. 3 from the countries added to the quarantine
list on Thursday will be required to self-isolate.

England, Scotland and the other countries in the United
Kingdom have their own powers over health policy.
