UK to make announcement on quarantine for travellers on Thursday-PM Johnson

Wed, 03rd Feb 2021 17:18

LONDON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Britain's health minister will
make a further announcement about the government's plans to
bring in hotel quarantine for some travellers on Thursday, Prime
Minister Boris Johnson said.

Last month Johnson said those arriving in Britain from
high-risk countries would have to quarantine for 10 days in
government-provided accommodation to stop the spread of new
variants of the virus, but the measure has not yet been
introduced.

"If you do come here from one of those countries, then you
will be, as we've said, taken and put in special accommodation,"
Johnson told a media conference. "The health secretary will be
making a further announcement about that tomorrow."
