LONDON, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Travellers arriving in England
face fines and even prison if they flout rules as part of a
hotel quarantine policy designed to stop the spread of COVID-19
variants from the most at-risk countries, British health
minister Matt Hancock said on Tuesday.
"We will be putting in place tough fines for people who
don't comply. This includes a 1,000-pound penalty for any
international arrival who fails to take a mandatory test,"
Hancock told parliament.
"Anyone who lies on the passenger locator form and tries to
conceal that they've been in a country on the red list in the 10
days before arrival here, will face a prison sentence of up to
10 years."
