Border Force sources say staff given less than three hours to digest guidance on new checks
Border staff received guidelines on how to execute England’s new “red list” quarantine rules in an email two-and-a-half hours before they came into force, with one worker describing the rollout as “an absolute joke”.
British and Irish nationals or UK residents arriving from a list of 33 countries are now required to book a 10-day quarantine package costing £1,750 per adult, as the government seeks to limit the spread of new and potentially more dangerous coronavirus variants arriving from abroad.
