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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Apologies, I thought it was.

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

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

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

I saw in the news this morning that New Zealand have temporarily suspended flights from India due to the rapidly escalating Covid rate. (Prior to this all arrivals from India and from anywhere else had to go to a quarantine hotel for 2 weeks).
Here in the UK, not only are flights still coming in from India, but passengers don't even have to go into the quarantine hotels and are allowed to go home to self-isolate.
