Closed Implement Quarantine Hotels for all UK arrivals from overseas.

Closed on

New strains of Covid-19 are a threat to the NHS and public health, including through people abusing the exemption for international travel as 'work purposes.' Therefore, the UK Government should do more to protect, introducing a mandatory 7-10 day Hotel Quarantine period for all UK arrivals.

This 10 day period would contain mass testing and 24/7 security. All travellers would be charged for their hotel accommodation unless they can provide a valid medical exemption for not being able to self-isolate. This would also provide an income for the hospitality sector.

It may seem excessive, but considering the success of Australia & New Zealand, it is the only viable option in opening the economy back up sooner and preventing the spread of new variants from overseas travellers.
