1. The government seems to offer to find a place

which seems reasonable with the asthma problem - BBC report dated today:

Any passengers arriving in the UK by plane, ferry or train will have to provide an address where they will remain for two weeks.

The idea is to reduce the spread of coronavirus by minimising the contact international travellers have with other people when they first arrive.

The government has not given a starting date, but has said it wants the measures introduced "as soon as possible".

On arrival, travellers will need to provide UK Border Force officials with an address where they will self-isolate. Otherwise, accommodation will be arranged by the government.

Which links to this May govt paper:

Second, the Government will require all international arrivals not on a short list of exemptions to
self-isolate in their accommodation for fourteen days on arrival into the UK. Where international
travellers are unable to demonstrate where they would self-isolate, they will be required to do so in
accommodation arranged by the Government. The Government is working closely with the
devolved administrations to coordinate implementation across the UK.

When the virus first hit abroad, they had accommodation near Heathrow and Merseyside where incoming passengers were taken - that may still be available.
