More suspicious immigrants were spotted in Dover, Kent on Saturday as the huge increase in crossings continues since the closure was imposed.

Images taken at the busy commercial port show people wearing facial masks processed by officials.

Follow reports of another large influx of immigrants to Britain on Friday.

A humanitarian charity said it is “not surprising” that so many people risk their lives to cross the dangerous Dover Strait due to “dire conditions” in the French refugee camps.

The Home Office has yet to confirm how many immigrants were brought to the UK in any day.

The department has only confirmed that “the Border Force is dealing with a series of ongoing incidents of small boats off the Kent coast” on Saturday.

Earlier this week, Home Secretary Priti Patel acknowledged that a recent increase in the number of migrant boats making the dangerous crossing of the English Channel is related to the Covid-19 blockade.

Pool advocate Myles Anderson has already raised around £ 10,000 for NHS charities along with a number of different “Move in with Myles” initiatives. Now, he’s asking fans to stay active and involved.

Boris Johnson was expected to announce only “modest” relief from the Welsh-like coronavirus blockade, as he faced pressure to detail plans for the quarantine of travelers arriving in the UK.

Welsh Prime Minister Mark Drakeford said Saturday that the Prime Minister’s announcement for England would be “very much in line” with the “smallest” relaxation given in his country.

Johnson faced requests for clarity after Airlines UK said the government had informed the industry body of plans to impose a 14-day quarantine on people arriving from any country other than the Republic of Ireland.

It was unclear whether the rule would apply to passengers arriving by boat or plane and whether companies will receive additional support for fear that the move would be disastrous for the industry.

A trade body warned that a 14-day quarantine period for all travelers coming to Britain would have a devastating impact on both the UK aviation industry and the economy as a whole.

According to reports, the Government will announce mandatory quarantine as part of measures to prevent a second peak of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Times said Prime Minister Boris Johnson will make the announcement in a speech to the nation on Sunday, but that there is confusion over the details, and that industry experts call for a “credible” and “clear” exit plan. .

Under the measures, which are expected to be implemented within weeks, all passengers arriving at airports and ports will be required to provide an address where they will immediately isolate themselves for 14 days.

The newspaper reports that “authorities will carry out random checks,” with penalties for those who do not comply with the rules, including “fines of up to £ 1,000” and deportation.

Airlines UK said the government had directly informed them of the plan, adding that they were informed that it will be effective by the end of the month or the beginning of June.

An Airlines UK spokesperson said: “We need to see the details of what they are proposing.

“We will ask for assurances that this decision has been led by science and that the government has a credible exit plan, with weekly reviews to ensure that the restrictions work and are still necessary.”

NHS figures for England show that 3,417 other hospital patients who tested positive for Covid-19 died between April 25 and May 7.

Coupled with the total number of 33,021 recorded deaths, this suggests that the total number of deaths in the UK has now exceeded 36,000. (PENNSYLVANIA)

The ISU union, which represents border, immigration and customs personnel, asked for clarity on the quarantine plans.

ISU professional officer Lucy Moreton told BBC Radio 4 Today: “At the moment, this is only a leak, so we have had no particular information.”

“There is a slight discrepancy about whether it is just airline passengers or whether this will include people arriving by boat.”

“And what are we going to do with irregular migrants who do not have a private home to isolate themselves?”

Apparently frustrated by the lack of concrete information, she added: “I hope someone will come to tell the staff at some point.”

He also questioned how it will be implemented, saying: “There is no way for that electronic gate to collect an address, so we would have to do something, either close it entirely or send staff before or after collecting addresses.”

The executive director of the Association of Airport Operators (AOA), Karen Dee, said she has not yet received details of a mandatory 14-day quarantine for all travelers to the UK.

She told BBC Breakfast: “I think there has been a lot of speculation in the press recently, and of course the transport secretary was on Andrew Marr’s show last week, so while we haven’t had any details yet, it has been There has been much speculation that there will be a 14-day quarantine for passengers returning to the UK.

“That would have a big impact on our sector, but at the moment we don’t have much detail on what that would mean.”

Ms Dee added: “We see passenger numbers generally decrease by approximately 98% now in the UK. So, you know, many airports are now closed to passenger traffic.

“There are very few inbound flights and that means there is no revenue, so we really have to adjust and see our way.”
