Finally HM Gov have woken up to the fact that maybe, just maybe, people coming into the UK from abroad could be bringing in the virus. How else would the Brazilian and South African strains have got here? Migratory birds perhaps? Scotland has the right idea - forget the red list nonsense - anyone coming into Scotland from anywhere abroad is now required to quarantine in an hotel at a cost of Ł1700 per person. However you can bet that some clowns will jet into Manchester or Birmingham and then drive up to Scotland.
