COVID-19 announcement from the UK Transport Minister.
- Arrivals from France and The Netherlands will be placed in a 14 day quarantine
- Says if this is not done now we would be failing to act on an infection rate that is too high
- the new quarantine measure will come into effect on Saturday at 4am
- List also includes: malta, Monaco, Aruba, Turks and Caicos
This will obviously impact UK residents returning from holidays in the listed countries. Its summer time in Europe … this will impact hundreds of thousands of returning residents.

Current numbers indicate the infection rate in the UK population is around 6%, and as high as 13% in London (treat those numbers as guides, not gospel).
