Yes, they'll have to quarantine for a fortnight, and undergo testing on arrival. It turns out that one of the main reasons the trio are not travelling to the UK is because they're scared of how widespread coronavirus is in England. They just don't want to take the risk. Here's the squad that will travel, including coronavirus reserves:
West Indies squad to tour England: Jermaine Blackwood, Nkrumah Bonner, Kraigg Brathwaite, Shamarh Brooks, John Campbell, Roston Chase, Rahkeem Cornwall, Shane Dowrich, Chemar Holder, Jason Holder (captain), Shai Hope, Alzarri Joseph, Raymon Reifer, Kemar Roach
Reserve players: Sunil Ambris, Joshua Da Silva, Shannon Gabriel, Keon Harding, Kyle Mayers, Preston McSween, Marquino Mindley, Shane Moseley, Anderson Phillip, Oshane Thomas, Jomel Warrican
The British West Indian governments reacted in a more proactive way. They followed the WHO advice, and tried to copy South Korea as much as possible. They implemented state quarantine (none of this self-isolation nonsense), they then did contact tracing, and further state quarantine, they shut down infected communities with the use of the army, and they closed airports completely at a very early stage. As a result, the only badly affected Caribbean island was Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti). They're talking about cases, while in Europe and North America we're talking about numbers of daily deaths....

Dominican Republic 17,285 cases - 502 deaths
