The 2021 season
Jimbo:
Several papers today, including the Times, report a massive split in the cabinet. Some want the traffic light system removed, others say that countries like Spain and Greece should be put on Amber Plus status - meaning self-quarantine on return, and also the possibility of going to red at short notice. Amber Plus would be a massive deterrent to travel: Red status means extremely expensive hotel quarantine on return. Needless to say, the travel industry is up in arms.
New announcements are due on Thursday.
My opinion is that Amber Plus would only be acceptable if those who were already on holiday were exempt from the rule. Surely a mad scramble to get home is pointless and self-defeating.
Let's hope sanity prevails!
Karen:
Oh I hope so Jim...
D@G:
Zero chance of any of the major holiday destinations moving to red. We simply don’t have anywhere near the capacity of quarantine hotels to house the number of people that are there.
Evertonendo:
What a flippin' mess !!
Wish we had gone at the start of the summer hols now :-[
Jimbo:
D@G is right, of course. Mind you, logic doesn't play much part in any of this. But Rishi Sunak is very influential, and he's in favour of easing restrictions.
