The UK government confirmed on Friday that mandatory hotel quarantine will be introduced on Feb. 15 for all passengers arriving from hotspots of CCP virus variants.
From Feb. 15, anyone travelling to the UK from a country on the UK’s travel ban list will be required to quarantine in a government-approved facility for a period of 10 days, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said in a statement.
