from this Monday, 0 hours, any traveler arriving in the United Kingdom should be placed in quarantine for fourteen days, under penalty of a fine of 1000 pounds (1120 euros). A very criticised in a part of the political class and among professionals of the tourism. A few hours of its entry into force, this Sunday, several transport operators tried again to abolish it.
British Airways wrote to the government of Boris Johnson raising the possibility of a judicial appeal against this provision “irrational and disproportionate”. It would affect visitors from countries with infection rates Covid less than the United Kingdom, which recorded the number of infections and deaths of the virus-the highest in Europe. The national company is supported in its approach by its competitors Ryanair and easyJet. The quarantine, which is adopted for an initial period of three weeks, is a threat to their plans for the resumption of air links with a view of the summer season.
A form of 27 pages
The manager of the Channel tunnel, Getlink, has also written to Boris Johnson this weekend to denounce the decision “extremely difficult to apply”, of which he received only at the last moment the practical arrangements. Thus, one of its employees which is expected to cross the border for a relief operation in the tunnel – which may occur up to eight times in one day – should complete a form 27 pages on the internet each time to be able to do it. Its chairman, Jacques Gounon, deplored the “intransigence” and the “limited consultation” with the british ministry of the Interior. An association of 500 businesses in the tourism calls for the abandonment of this measure, which she denounces the flaws and that has not been the subject of a recommendation of the scientific committee of the government.
