A law firm representing travellers is taking the government to court over the UK's quarantine hotel policy.
Passengers must spend 11 nights in a quarantine hotel on returning from red list countries, even if fully vaccinated and testing negative for Covid.The cost of staying in a quarantine hotel is now £2,285.
If PGMBM's claim was successful, not only would double-vaccinated travellers no longer have to quarantine at the hotels, but the government could also be forced to refund the fees of all those who were vaccinated and still had to stay there. One of the firm's clients, Ozgur Akyuz, a bus driver from Hackney, said his pregnant wife and three-year-old daughter caught Covid while staying in hotel quarantine two weeks ago."She saw a rat in her room and kept being served bacon and sausages, even though she told them she didn't eat pork.
