UK Begins Hotel Quarantine for Arrivals from High-risk Countries

Britain’s newly established quarantine hotels received their first guests on Monday as the government tries to prevent new variants of the coronavirus from derailing its fast-moving vaccination drive.

Passengers arriving at London’s Heathrow Airport were escorted by security guards to buses that took them to nearby hotels.

Under the new rules, people arriving in England from 33 high-risk countries must stay in designated hotels for 10 days at their own expense, with meals delivered to their door.

Infections and deaths in the UK are now falling steadily, and the government says that on Feb. 22 it will announce a “road map” for easing a nationwide lockdown.
