New hotel quarantine measures were labelled "ridiculous" today after allegations that high-risk passengers were allowed to mingle freely with other travellers en route to the UK.

All British and Irish citizens and UK residents arriving in England after being in a country with a high risk of covid-19 must now be quarantined in hotels


People forced into isolation in hotels told how they stood "shoulder to shoulder" on aircraft and as they stepped off the plane before being asked to join a separate queue at passport control. It was also discovered that some hotels supposedly reserved for quarantined passengers still had other guests in the building today.


Critics said the lack of segregation could undermine the new policy which was first introduced today to prevent mutant strains of coronavirus being imported into the UK.

Travellers will have to pre-book and pay £1,750 to spend 10 days quarantined in government-authorised hotels. The fee covers the cost of the hotel, transport and two tests.
