The way these work is that until you get the negative test result the self-isolation regulations apply to you, which are very strict and don't allow for outside exercise.
If you are travelling, suggest you read the guidance and don't try and read these regulations (although you are welcome to try!) They're not really digestible gov.uk/guidance/trave…

I have short comment piece in the Mirror on this story - I think that the "unofficial Christmas party" on 18 Dec 2020 with 40-50 people at No. 10 probably broke the Covid rules. /1
At the time (Tier 3), you could only have gatherings over 30 indoors if they were a "permitted organised gathering", but that would require households not mingling, or if "reasonably necessary for work".

But a Christmas party was very unlikely to be "reasonably necessary for work"
Although not binding on a court, it is probably relevant that the government's own guidance at the time said this:
Last month I took part in a fascinating debate at @OxfordUnion on whether we should give up “liberty for safety”. Speakers included Lord Sumption, @ProfKarolSikora, @AllysonPollock and others. Really worth watching. This was my speech (our side won)
🚨New travel rules: 6 countries added to Red (hotel quarantine) List, previously no countries on it. Flights banned until Sun
The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel and Operator Liability) (England) (Amendment) (No. 19) Regulations 2021 legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2021/1323…
🚨I wanted to raise the alarm on some important new amendments to the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill which the government has quietly tabled (thread)
In short, there are five big changes which will very significantly limit the right to protest. The government will say these are a response to Insulate Britain but in reality these are aimed at any large-scale disruptive protest like @ExtinctionR and Black Lives Matter
First: making "locking on" and "being equipped for locking on" criminal offences
A law which should strike fear into any dual national or those who can obtain alternative citizenship (including Jewish people so me). Arendt said there could be no human rights without citizenship - the “right to have rights”. It should *never* be removed without due process
Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
“Everyone has the right to a nationality. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.”
This is the new Clause 9 of the Nationality and Borders Bill. Allows the Home Secretary to avoid giving notice of stripping somebody of citizenship, also known as civic death, if “it would for any other reason not be reasonably practicable to give notice” publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill…
