Britons returning home after overseas holidays are facing a scramble to beat changing quarantine rules and soaring air fares.
Transport secretary Grant Shapps also announced travellers returning from Portugal to the UK from 4am on Saturday will no longer have to self-isolate for two weeks. As holidaymakers scramble to get back to the UK in time to avoid quarantine, they are facing rises in air fares from nations added to the quarantine list.
The Scottish justice minister has announced that Switzerland has also been added to Scotland's quarantine list - this does not apply for people returning to the rest of the UK. Mato Frankovic said he had hoped airport testing for coronavirus would be introduced in the UK instead of quarantine."I do hope those British citizens who want to come to Dubrovnik still do, and I want to send a very strong message that Dubrovnik is a COVID-safe town."
