London airports are crowded with young people, old people, families with children and people who were preparing to return to Italy for the Christmas holidays but who have had their trip blocked at any time and now do not know when they can return to our country. .
The provision departed from Italy and took effect immediately: those who were at the airport about to board could not avoid resorting to airline “vouchers”. In the Facebook group, many report little information, some say they have a hard time finding a place to sleep, while others have serious financial difficulties.
“To see some Italian compatriots reduced to sleep at the airport and to think that now they are still there waiting for news and help that does not arrive. What a shame! ”, We read again in the Facebook group. “I’ve been here for two months, they fired me and from tomorrow I’m away from home because I have to leave the accommodation. Can you tell me what to do? The only thing I can do is go to sleep at the airport, I’m in the m …. total, sorry for the French but it is the truth “, writes another user.
But family members in Italy are also concerned. “I am the mother of a child who last night was blocked with his girlfriend after registering in Stansted – we read -. They were about to return permanently to Italy, after a period of work that could not continue due to Covid 19. They did not return to eat pandoro with the family and then return to England. So they no longer have a job or a home in London. What happens now? Is it possible that we don’t have any information? In Italy? “
EU: “Stop the transport ban” – “Calls for flights and trains” from Great Britain “should end given the need to ensure essential travel and avoid supply chain disruptions”: EU Commission writes in newly adopted recommendation on coordinated approach to response measures a variant of Covid in the UK. The Commission recommends that all non-essential travel to and from Great Britain be stopped, but “EU and UK citizens traveling to their Member State or country of residence, as well as third-country nationals enjoying free EU circulation, they should be exempted from new temporary restrictions on condition that they undergo a test or quarantine. ” Travelers with an essential function, such as medical personnel, “should be required to undergo a test (RT-PCR test or rapid antigen test within 72 hours prior to departure), but they should not require them to self-quarantine while exercising this essential function, “the Commission writes. New recommendations also for tracking suspected cases.” Public health authorities in Member States should increase virus testing efforts in a timely manner to identify quickly the cases of the new variant.
Government: “A plan for the return of Italians from Great Britain is being studied” – The government is studying a plan to bring back to Italy the thousands of fellow citizens stranded in Britain after the discovery of the English variant of the virus and the consequent closure of flights from England to our country. The hypothesis, according to government sources, would be on the executive table and a decision could be made in the next few hours.
