Woah — immense overcrowding at Dubai Airport (which probably has more UK ‘Tier 4 lockdown’ residents there than in Tier 4 itself)

Note: While 50+ countries have cut air travel ties with UK due to global concern of new #COVID19 variant that spreads much faster — UAE has not.
UAE has admitted it has a “number” of infections of new, faster spreading #COVID19 variant from UK travellers

Despite this, passengers flying between UK & Dubai have no quarantine on either end, no testing in UK (despite - as instagram reveals - parties & mixing galore in Dubai)
Emirates is also openly encouraging passengers to use NHS tests to gain entry to Dubai, despite it being in violation of UK rules ⚠️

UK government: “You cannot use NHS test service to get a test for travel purposes”

Emirates: “Do it on NHS, print result, and it’s fine”👇🏽 https://twitter.com/emiratessupport/status/1333039001717104640
