Those who come to England to prepare 200 pounds for 2 more tests

YEngland is introducing two more mandatory coronavirus tests for those arriving in the country from Monday, which will take place on the second and eighth days of the mandatory 10-day quarantine. They cost around £ 200, which is more expensive than a round-trip plane ticket between Sofia and London at the moment.

Additionally, travelers must submit a negative result from a third test performed 72 hours prior to landing in the UK.

The two additional tests must be booked on the British government website when completing a statement of where the quarantine will take place. If they are not complied with, the fine for the first violation is 1,000 pounds and for the second, 2,000 pounds, in addition to extending the quarantine to 14 days.

Arriving in England from 33 countries in Africa, Latin America and Portugal, which have more contagious mutations in COVID-19, they will have to be quarantined in a hotel for 10 days, which will cost them 1,750 pounds. Foreign nationals who have been there for the past 10 days cannot enter the UK at all. If they try to do so by lying in their arrival declarations, they face up to 10 years in prison.

The last few days have been extremely busy at London airports with people trying to enter the country before the new, tougher restrictions.

British media have revealed that some of the hotels booked by the government do not meet security requirements. They have common air conditioning systems through which the virus can be easily transmitted from room to room. The BBC reported a similar case in Australia, where a couple was infected by a Nigerian family who was quarantined in a hotel room against their own.

This is alleged to have happened while they were opening their doors at the same time to carry food delivered to them, forcing the Australian authorities to introduce stricter rules for hotel stays.
