British Prime Minister Johnson has begun to consider centralized quarantine for all incoming passengers, or only for those from hot areas of the outbreak. But once the final decision is made this week, the cost of a 10-day stay is expected to be borne by the travelers themselves. In addition, the number of deaths in the UK due to the Newcastle Epidemic has exceeded 100,000. The UK now has one of the highest mortality rates of NCC in the world.
In order to stop the outbreak, all travelers entering the UK have been required to submit a negative test report within 72 hours, and are required to be quarantined at Home for 10 days after entry.
The Financial Times reported that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson (Boris Johnson) is considering stricter border controls. South African and Brazilian flights are currently banned from entering the country.
It is known that Johnson may require travelers to be quarantined in hotels, but it has not yet been decided whether all travelers will be quarantined, or whether different rules will be issued for each country.
Government sources said health Minister Hancock (Matt Hancock) and Home Secretary Patel (Priti Patel) think all passengers should be centrally isolated, but Transport Minister Shapps (Grant Shapps) and Finance Minister Sunak (Rishi Sunak) think there should be selectivity.
Johnson will make the final decision. A cabinet member said, “I don’t think the prime minister wants to let the progress brought about by vaccination fall through, but I don’t think he has quite made up his mind to impose a full quarantine.”
Separately, sources familiar with the tourism industry said government departments are recently contacting major hotel chains to discuss the possibility of using hotels as quarantine sites.
The newspaper reported that a cabinet panel will meet on the 26th to decide when, and how, to introduce a centralized hotel quarantine policy. However, if the British government really require inbound travelers in the hotel quarantine, 10 days of accommodation costs are expected to be paid by the travelers themselves.
