Limit Quarantine Scope To Minimise Economic Damage
Following the Government’s announcement of details of its 14 day quarantine plan for travellers arriving in the UK, ADS Chief Executive Paul Everitt said:
“Quarantining travellers will hold back the UK’s economic recovery. Key workers across our sectors must be provided with a route to secure exemptions and allow travel essential to our economic recovery.
“The 14-day quarantine should be a time-limited measure that can be removed as soon as the evidence supports doing so, and an international approach should be taken to resuming flights as quickly as possible.
“While the quarantine is operating, air bridges that allow controlled removal of the measure on selected routes have the potential to limit unnecessary disruption and I urge the Government to implement the process as quickly as possible.”
