Watching Sky News this a.m.,  TUES 9 Feb., 2021, shocked to hear news that U.K. is closing further: It applies to travelers arriving from 33 countries. At cost of over 1200£ arriving passengers  must quarantine in assigned hotel and be tested twice. Huge fines for none compliance.

 

Here is a link to the list of the 33 countries:

The cost announced in the House of Commons today by Health Secretary Matt Hancock is actually £1750. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55995645

Thanks for posting. Maybe they think we are doing a decent job in the US.

All travellers to Scotland arriving by air will be forced to quarantine and expecting the rest of the UK to follow suit sooner rather than later.

Should be considering we are banned at the moment.

It should have been done earlier and to include a lot more countries and then perhaps we wouldnt have had as many deaths we have had.

I wonder what the rule will be for those who have been vaccinated?
