UK 'will not hesitate' to add nations to coronavirus quarantine list

Asked whether tourist destinations such as France could be next to be added to the quarantine list, Mr Sunak told the BBC that the government is keeping the situation"under constant review" and that people should"be mindful" of the"risk" of disruption to travel given the global pandemic.

He told Sky News that No 10 was doing"the right thing", keeping the situation"under review on a constant basis" and consulting with scientists and medical advisers. If action was needed, the government would"not hesitate to do that", he said, in order"to protect people's health". People who do not self-isolate when required to after being abroad can be fined up to £1,000 in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Those returning to Scotland could be fined £480, with fines up to £5,000 for persistent offenders.

Joshua Holloway, who works at the University of Ghent, in northwest Belgium, says the"crushing" quarantine news means he will have to abandon plans to visit his family in Shropshire next week.

Whatever the issue, that nappy on her face looks grotesque

How are people who left the UK informed

BBCPolitics Hesitating has always been in agenda of UK government for tackling crisis.

Quelle surprise... our govt is threatening us like naughty school kids. Despite virtually non existent deaths and hospital admissions the govt still likes to wave its iron fist thinking it has any form of ‘power’.

Is that another COVID symptom? Fat lips?

Keep pedalling your bile.

Ooooh We're Very Scared How Ever Will We Go On

Too damn right don’t want people ruining the good job boris has done they shouldn’t be coming here anyway

Can we add ourselves? How would that work even?

Block all flights and ports..... lets all staycate.... Sits back and waits for the onslaught!

All pointless while pritipatel is allowing thousands of bogus asylum seekers from highly infected COVID countries like Iran

Can someone tell me how this is going to be enforced, they can’t even enforce face masks in supermarkets.

But not willing to do it to itself. Being worse than any other country, bar America. Absolute fruit loops.

BBCPolitics Like the UK are experts in managing the pendemic...Aye right

Will they add the channel as a risky country

Add the nations who are actually wearing masks

borisjohnson and conservatives navel gazing again

I bet they wont. Mask were enforced to ensure we feel safe so we will go out and spend at the shops and these quarantine measures are probably designed so we spend our money on uk holidays. An attempt to fix the economy the gov trashed.

They should add themselves to their little list ... flocking to Spain driving up the numbers abroad then blaming others upon arrival is so typically British.

This government is hell bent on destroying the travel industry, all part of the UN's plan to make international travel non-essential.

BBCPolitics Don’t you mean England ?

What security issues is there with face coverings. As most places ask motorcyclists to remove helmets for security reasons...

but...

now you’re talking UK !

Sooner we realise global travel is a STUPID idea for the foreseeable future the better.

Good

BBCPolitics Perhaps UK should be latest country to add to quarantine list the way things bare going.

I'm so going to enjoy the outrage in this country when other countries decide to put the UK on their quarantine list

For a virus with a 99.7% recovery/survival rate?

BBCPolitics The illegal immigrants spreading death running around with covid 19 killing people and the government wants me to be a nice boy and stay in and isolate to stop the spread of covid 19 YE RIGHT

But the Government did hesitate. It hesitated when it mattered. It was clearly worth considering in February, and although it makes sense now, it’s only because their incompetence and flawed thinking has been exposed.

BBCPolitics Worlds worst death rate, what exactly are they protecting us from? 😂

We should be quarantining ALL other countries where COVID19 is high, its protecting OUR population Anyone with even half a brain can understand that surely? The only people who dont or wont respect it are turds quite frankly!

BBCPolitics

I just wish we would all stop letting British flights into Spain!!!

Bollox

Do your worst. It’s unenforceable unless you’ve got armed guards outside their homes ensuring they don’t pop out during the 14 days.

Hesitating it’s been UK government big error in all this pandemic. They need to decide something effective and put it on action and adjust accordingly. They have lots of ideas but no action or CONTROLS

well add France and stop the illegals flooding in

Who's policing this quarantine nonsense, how does anyone know if folk are complying?

Decisive action right there. If only you had been this forceful in tackling the virus in England....

Who cares 😝😝😝😝

Fair enough. We should

I wish they be transparent about the numbers. What is the magic number?

Shouldn't it be the other way round?

Certainly didn't hesitate putting Belgium on the list. For no valid reason as far as I tell from the data.

BBCPolitics Is Thighland on the list yet, or Nambia?

BBCPolitics Shouldn’t nations be adding the UK to their quarantine lists?

Does that include ourselves?

Big words from the big bad Boris. 'We will not hesitate to smack your bottoms if you're naughty'

You should be been saying that months ago . Would have saved lives ........ Goodness me .

And d’you know what ? They won’t hesitate to reciprocate. You could try talking to them.

You're a good few months too late.
