Labour again calls for urgent comprehensive hotel quarantine system, as Covid variants reportedly reaching UK from Western Europe and the USA

“These dire warnings about new variants coming to the UK show why the UK Government’s reckless approach to border security against Covid is so dangerous.

“Labour has long called for a comprehensive hotel quarantine system. Instead the current system means around just 1 per cent of thousands of daily arrivals quarantine in hotels.

“This lack of action is putting the gains of the vaccine and the huge sacrifices the British people are making at serious risk.”
