Three families are on the same flight home to Heathrow from Crete on Friday where they have holidayed together.
The Jones family live in England and are home in good time. The Strachan family lives in Scotland. Their connecting flight was delayed and they don't arrive home until after the 4am quarantine kicks in. The third family, the Jones, live in Wales. They drove home, reach Wales before quarantine starts but get caught up on the M4 through Newport on the stretch Drakeford refuses to sort out with a new road to save a few newts so didn't arrive home before the quarantine deadline.
All six parents work for the same employer, let's say their local authority, and all families have two children of school age.
Who can
1) Go to work on Monday morning
2) Go to school on Monday morning
3) Go to the pub on Monday night.
Tiebreaker/ bonus question
And who has to wear a face mask for each of the above?
BTW the English family live in a town under enhanced lockdown measures.

I haven't researched the answers but will give it ago.
1) Go to work on Monday morning: Jones (England) & Strachan can return to work. Jones (Wales) must quarantine.
2) Go to school on Monday morning: Jones (England) & Jones (Wales) children cannot go to school. Strachan’s can
3) Go to the pub on Monday night: Jones (England) & Jones (Wales) can’t go to the pub. Strachan’s can.
Tiebreaker/ bonus question
And who has to wear a face mask for each of the above? School children, office workers in communal areas?
