period of self-quarantine in suitable premises the person:
(a) is no longer required to comply with that quarantine requirement; and
(b) must instead comply with these directions, including any requirement to
quarantine,
provided that, if the period of quarantine imposed by these directions ends at an earlier
time than the quarantine requirement that the person is already subject to, these
directions must be read as requiring a period of quarantine that ends at the same time
as the quarantine requirement that the person is already subject to.
6. If a person falling within paragraph 4 of these directions is subject to a requirement to
