Why are arrivals from India not being sent to quarantine hotels?

They will be on the UK red list from 4am tomorrow morning, into quarantine.

Then we are asked to trust, what we are told about Covid, it's insane

I don't think so, that's Bangladesh, Kenya, Pakistan and Philippines

Apologies, I thought it was.

This whole arrivals thing is a mystery to me. Heard yesterday on tv that eight thousand people a day are arriving at Heathrow. Where on earth are they all coming from and why? My mind boggles at the suspected Covid inefficiencies behind all this.

Totally agree Kim. Where are they all coming from and why are they coming?

Even the people who go into the quarantine hotels, there doesn't seem to be any data of how many are infected.

India have a serious problem at the moment.

I hope anyone coming in from India is monitored, the government need to sort this out immediately.

All the passed lock downs will have been a waste of time
if we get the new variant which India have at the moment.

Why is Boris Johnson going to be going to India ...idiot man

Follow the money

You're mad. What's wrong with your government? Unbelievable stupidity.

It’s outrageous to have anyone coming into the UK from countries where the virus is out of control, India/Pakistan as examples.
If those countries don’t stop international travel, it’s up to our government to close our borders.

Glass houses.

It beggars belief, doesn't it? Jacinda Ardern has played a blinder during this pandemic. She has put New Zealand first. India has described her actions as racist but she has carried on regardless and good for her. It is no earthly use trumpeting the vaccine figures then allowing people to keep swanning into the UK from places we are told not to visit!!

Absolutely Sarnia.

Bluebelle exactly! How are people to be encouraged to travel responsibly through this summer when public figures seem to be able to bend/break rules all over the place.

I’m always amazed by the photos showing people queuing at border control at Heathrow and complaining about how long it takes. I’d like to know why so many people are travelling when we are only supposed to make necessary journeys. They don’t look like business people to me!

I don’t accept travelling abroad to attend a wedding or to see family as necessary when there are many people who have not met with family during the pandemic even when they all live in the UK.

Just get our borders closed to give the scientists time to develop vaccines and treatments for these new variants.

I love you too darling. Our government are pretty hopeless, too. No one said anything different though we have controlled the actual spread well. By the way, I am not a politician but I assume from your slightly unpleasant comment that you are a member of the British cabinet?

Actually I think it is more like 5% wish it was 25% I’d be happy with that.

Sarcasm rules OK.

I've never called the population of an entire country mad because their government are incompetent. That's quite unpleasant.

Let's split the difference - 15%.

For the virus to have gathered pace so quickly, it's certainly been there far longer than any expert would have you believe.

Non-Australians are banned from entering Australia anyway.

The vaccine roll-out is slow but there have been no cases in some areas for a while now and fewer than 15 new cases in the whole country.
I know that those in their 60s are being called for vaccination.

I do hope they do increase the roll-out asap and open the borders.

Unless they are rich and famous.

The Mail again but the Aussie papers are all behind firewalls.
