Germany and France next for a UK quarantine? It's under review, junior minister says

LONDON, July 27 (Reuters) - The British government is
watching the situation in Germany and France closely and
continuously reviewing the situation in popular holiday
destinations, a junior health minister said on Monday when asked
about widening a quarantine for Spain.

"We have to keep the situation under review and I think that
is what the public would expect us to do," junior health
minister Helen Whately told Sky when asked about Germany and
France possibly being next to face a quarantine.

"If we see rates going up in a country where at the moment
there is no need to quarantine, if we see the rates going up, we
would have to take action because we cannot take the risk of
coronavirus being spread again across the UK," she said.

Britain abruptly imposed a two-week coronavirus quarantine
on travellers returning from Spain, a decision that filled
holidaymakers with dismay.
