Coronavirus: UK tourists face new quarantine deadline race

But consumer group Which? said the change in rules for Portugal was"likely to come too late to help many struggling holiday companies" and called for support for the travel industry., before the measures came into force.Quarantine: How do I self-isolate coming back from abroad?

"We've always wanted to come to Croatia so we looked at the infection rates and they seemed very low."Luzita and David Tucker are on holiday in Croatia with sons Oliver and Kaffian after cancelling a trip to Barcelona"Why not [carry out] virus testing at the airport when we arrive back in the UK? And surely using public transport to get home could be a risk."

Unlike many other British visitors to Croatia, she had responded to rumours that the country was set to be removed from the exemption list by booking an alternative early flight home.That means she should be able to get home before the deadline and back to her job in retail. In a statement, it urged employers to be"understanding of those returning from these destinations who now will need to self-isolate".

🎼Better leave town if you only want to knock us..🎵 Suggest grantshapps designates British Isles regional airports, e.g Jersey, Carlisle, Exeter for regulated hygiene stopovers so air travellers can be safely tested/quarantined prior to onward transit

So funny, don't bother hurrying home, no-one is quarantining when they come back anyway, no checks are made at the airport, I know people who rushed back from France to Manchester and were never even asked their names. Just headlines, more smoke and mirrors.

With nrly 800000 dead globally, and cases increasing nr enough everywhere in Europe, was it too much to ask for just this year , that people across Europe forego their summer holiday. Unless to see family, I struggle to understand why you’d think it ok to travel at the moment

No entry ⛔️

How silly.

If they must do these quarantines, here's an idea. If it's Thursday afternoon say ' by the end of Monday. ' Give everyone 2/3 sensible days and stop this time when everything's going to change. And don't fret about the exact time that last day. People might understand more.

People are aware of the quarantine risk. In particular I can’t understand ppl who have switched from France to Crotia. They can’t complain. They simply have to accept responsibility for their decision and live with it BBCBenThompson BBCBreakfast SkyNews adamboultonSKY

Everyone racing to leave by 4am on Saturday (as was seen last week) will surely result in an increase in Covid as everyone rushes & queues at airports/ports etc. Changeover day is usually Saturday/Sunday; surely they could wait until the end of one of those days which would help.

Oh look - here we go again! Pick & choose a country at random to suit all the corrupt fat cats!!..

There is nothing to stop people travelling to and from Spain via Portugal to avoid Quarantine.

Actually, if they had /any/ sense of social responsibility, they would keep to their schedule return flights and take it on the chin. But of course they don't have, so - stupid is as stupid does.

Here we go again selfish holidaymakers who knew the risks of going abroad desperate to get home to avoid self isolating for 14 days . It amazes me how Corona Virus can read dates and tell the time

No they dont.....fuck the bull💩 quarantine.....the biggest con since Nick Leeson!!!!!

The Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, poisoned yesterday, is not allowed to be transported to Germany for treatment. They are waiting for the poison to leave the body, or until Alexei dies. Help

What a rush for UK holidaymakers! It is highly likely a majority of UK travellers returning to the country won't beat this deadline set by the government for those wishing to avoid the rigorous quarantine rules in the UK. The government has got to do its job meticulously well.

Is this a new reality game?

U.K. is at war with Europe quarantine after quarantine when in fact the U. K. Is Probably the worst in Europe Boris is making enemies we will pay for his behaviour in the future

Anyone booking a holiday anywhere surely must realise that this could happen with a few hours notice.

All this rushing back to beat the quarantine makes a mockery of having one at all.

4771 cases and 12 deaths ‘with’ not ‘of’ Covid - that’s a whopping 0.02% mortality rate (or a 99.98% survival rate) even using the ‘with’ figures. This is a farce

141,000 hospital beds in the uk and only 599 of them are occupied by covid patients. Spoke to my cousin yesterday who works in London hospital, he worked in covid ward, also trained for the nightingale hospital
