Ensure all new arrivals in UK, except lorry drivers, quarantine within hotels.
Requesting new arrivals quarantine at home is insufficient to reduce the threat of new variants arriving from overseas, given compliance is not high. The red list of countries is insufficient given the lack of genome sequencing in other countries.
British people have complied with the lockdown and sacrificed a lot. However this compliance is undermined by the lack of border controls on new arrivals to the country.
