Too early to exclude travellers from UK coronavirus quarantine -testing coordinator

Tue, 02nd Jun 2020 17:34

LONDON, June 2 (Reuters) - It is too early to be able to
exclude some international travellers from quarantine measures
due to be introduced next week to prevent a resurgence of the
coronavirus, Britain's COVID-19 testing coordinator said on
Tuesday.

John Newton said one of the reasons Britain might choose not
to impose the 14-day quarantine on particular individuals would
be if the risk of that person having the virus was "so low that
we would just take the chance."

"At the moment the judgment is that it is too early to say
that and therefore it is better to be cautious for people
travelling," he told a news conference.
