Britain has barred travellers from a "red list" of 43 coronavirus hotspots including India, Brazil, Turkey and South Africa, fearing they could bring in worrisome virus variants. U.K. citizens and residents who return from those countries face a mandatory 10-day supervised quarantine in a government-approved hotel.
Heathrow said in a statement that it had set up the new arrivals facility because "red list routes will likely be a feature of U.K. travel for the foreseeable future." "This is another poorly planned initiative that will be understaffed and rely on volunteers to do overtime, to avoid mounting queues," the union said.
The rising cases have cast doubt on the Conservative government's plans to lift social distancing rules and remaining pandemic-related restrictions on June 21. Many scientists are urging a delay, arguing that more people need to be vaccinated before measures can be eased safely.
Some more discrimination!
