The hi-lighted case was in Scotland where ALL arrivals except those from the CTA are subject to quarantine. The rules in England are different as they only apply to Red List countries but the Red List covers pretty much all of South America.
I suspect that the family subject to the BBC article has arrived in the CTA before the quarantine regs kicked in at 00:01 on Monday.
I'm pretty sure that if you complete the pre-arrival form accurately you would need to show that your journey originated in Santiago. Now how that works if, say, you arrive via Dublin (or the US or Paris/Amsterdam) and fly on to London (or Birmingham) and fail to declare I don't know but I suspect a fine and/or the slammer beckon.
However I do wonder how you'd be picked up if you travelled overland from Dublin to Belfast and flew domestically to UK, perhaps arriving via a regional airport like Leeds or East Midlands, whether you could slip under the radar. Same if you flew to the EU and arrived back in Dover or Portsmouth on a ferry from France or Spain.
