Health Act 1956

Quarantine

98: Continuance of liability to quarantine

You could also call this:

"Staying in quarantine until it's safe to come out"

If you are on a ship or aircraft that has to go into quarantine, it will stay in quarantine until it gets pratique. You get pratique when the authorities say it is okay for the ship or aircraft to come into contact with others. This means the ship or aircraft is no longer a risk to public health. If you are a person who has to go into quarantine, you will stay in quarantine until you are officially released. This release happens when you follow the rules made under the Health Act 1956. You have to follow these rules to be released from quarantine.
