UK quarantine move deals disproportionate blow to confidence - IATA

Mon, 27th Jul 2020 11:42

PARIS, July 27 (Reuters) - Global airline body IATA
criticised Britain's snap decision to re-impose coronavirus
quarantine measures on travellers from Spain as a severe blow to
recovery hopes that was disproportionate to health risks.

"This is a big setback for consumer confidence that is
essential to drive a recovery," the International Air Transport
Association said in an emailed statement on Monday.

"A unilaterally decided blanket quarantine order for
everybody returning to the UK from Spain does not accurately
reflect the risk of a regional spike in one corner of the
country."
