UK implements mandatory quarantine for travelers from Netherlands

Travelers from the Netherlands arriving in the United Kingdom will have to self-quarantine for 14 days, the British Transport Minister Grant Shapps announced on Thursday evening. This quarantine obligation takes effect at 4:00 a.m. on Saturday and also applies to travelers from Aruba, France, Monaco, Malta and the Turks and Caicos islands.  According to Shapps, this measure is necessary to keep the number of coronavirus infections in the UK from rising again. Belgium was removed from the list of "safe" countries last week.Submitted by Janene Pieters on Friday, 14 August 2020 - 08:02 https://nltimes.nl/2020/08/14/uk-implements-mandatory-quarantine-travelers-netherlands
