UK Quarantine Reality👇🏽

Madrid to Heathrow flight

Onboard: passengers from ‘red list’ countries, such as Brazil, and passengers from elsewhere

They all mix: boarding, onboard, same lavatory, on arrival

On arrival: Some escorted to quarantine, others walk free on to the tube.
On same flight

Two passengers: 01A + 01B are together for 2hrs. Dining. Drinking.

On arrival 👇🏽

01A: travels across England’s vast rail network, travels up to Scotland, stopping at Starbucks, pops into M&S en route, etc

01B: is escorted to quarantine hotel at cost of £1700+
With this in mind, it remains v unclear what the actual goal of the UK’s new quarantine policy even is?

One airport exec told me earlier: “At least if the policy was implemented properly there’d be a chance of it being able to achieve something — anything!” 🤯 #COVID19
