Jamaica, Switzerland and the Czech Republic were removed from the list of brokers through the Secretary of Transport, Grant Shapps, while Cuba was added. The new regulations mean that others arriving in the UK from the first 3 countries after 4am on Saturday will have to be quarantined for two weeks, unlike those arriving from Cuba after that time.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock faced awkward questions about the thirteen dollars a day that were presented to guests to isolate themselves.

Although the government seeks to take a business stance towards refugees crossing the English Channel and the Ministry of the Interior tweets that “activist lawyers” are interrupting the return of migrants who are allowed to be in the UK (before agreeing to use the term), new figures show that the number of asylum programmes has almost halved as a result of coronavirus.
Some 8,455 asylum programmes in the UK were presented in the first 3 months of the year, with 4,850 from April to June, according to figures from the Ministry of the Interior.
Figures show that the UK introduced asylum or other humanitarian cover bureaucracy to 16952 other people in the year through June, 8% less than at the same time in 2019.
Meanwhile, a resettlement program had to be discontinued due to coronavirus, which led to the activists re-installation.
The Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Programme (SPRV) accounted for more than three-quarters (2,956) of resettled in the UK in the year ended in June.
Since the allocation began nearly six years ago, 19768 refugees, mainly Syrian citizens, have been resettled in the UK as part of a target of 20,000 by the end of 2020.
Stephen Hale, Managing Director of Refugee Action, said: “The UK refugee resettlement programme has been frozen since 12 March 2020, and there have been no arrivals on the show since.
“If the suspension of the pre-year program is understandable due to the pandemic, there is no explanation for why it cannot be restarted now.
A senior tourism official in the Czech Republic said he “deeply regrets” the UK’s resolve to remove the country from its quarantine exemption list.
Katarina Hobbs, director of CzechTourism UK – Ireland, said: “The Czech Republic remains a safe country for. It will continue to monitor and manage the existing scenario while receiving visitors from the country.”
“This is a British government resolution that we look forward to and we hope that the British government will reconsider its resolution very soon.”
He added: “We continue to provide data to visiting tourists, including avoiding crowded spaces and following the strict regulations that have been implemented through the government of the Czech Republic.
“The Czech Republic can ensure that strict regulations and measures are in place for travellers and citizens, regardless of their location.”
In Wales, Health Minister Vaughan Gething also said travellers from the Czech Republic, Jamaica and Switzerland will be quarantined. But he said Cuba and Singapore would be added to the list of exempted countries.
As in England, the new one will come into force at 4am on Saturday.
As the prospect of a sudden quarantine for returning travellers becomes more familiar, it should be noted that insurers will have little sympathy. Patrick Ikhena, of comparethemarket, said that a resolution to cancel a resolution to avoid mandatory quarantine regulations would be considered a “reluctance to travel” and that many policies would probably not pay.
He also stated that the maximum insurance policies would no longer affect the 3 countries included in grant Shapps’ announcement, and informed travelers that they could download the refund or other dates and destinations if they touched their airline or hotel.
Following The Announcement by Shapps, the DfT issued a statement:
Covid-19 infections are all over Europe.
“The government has made it clear that it will take decisive action if it is mandatory to involve the virus, including the immediate removal of countries from the travel corridor list, if public fitness threatens others returning from a specific country without isolation becomes too high.
“This means that tourists may want to isolate themselves when they return to the UK and are encouraged to see the implications of self-isolation for themselves and their families before planning their trip.”
Shapps, who posted the news on Twitter, also said Cuba had been removed from the quarantine list.
Transportation Secretary Grant Shapps showed this story through travellers from Jamaica and Switzerland having to be quarantined for four days if they arrive in England after four on Saturday morning.
He also said that travellers from the Czech Republic were quarantined. Officials expected the latest infection figures to be published in Prague before making one last call.
The Department of Transport said similar measures were being implemented in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Scotland removed Switzerland from its list last week.
Pret a Manger said he had completed a restructuring of his UK operations and cut 2,800 unemployed people in his stores, more than he had noticed earlier this summer.
Before the layoffs, the company hired 13,000 workers worldwide, adding 8,000 in the UK.
The figure of 1,522 new confirmed instances per laboratory is higher than yesterday’s 1,048. And that’s the highest number since June 12.

New studies have shown that delays in the treatment of IVF related to coronaviruses will have a significant effect on birth success.
Analysis of British and American knowledge revealed that for all women’s ages, confinement would likely result in a 0.5% reduction in the rate of live births after IVF treatment.
In the United States, this equates to 734 births less consistent with the year, according to researchers from the University of the West of England and the University of Glasgow.
Andrew Smith, a senior statistician at UWE Bristol, said: “The good luck of IVF is very age-sensitive, older women are less likely to succeed and live birth rates will be lower.
“For a three-month remedy disruption, for example, we forecast 0.8% relief in the live birth rate, which is significant.”
At least 350 families will have to isolate themselves after a coronavirus outbreak at a poultry plant in Norfolk, reports Kevin Rawlinson:
The Banham Poultry site, about 15 miles southwest of Norwich, had been partially closed and everything that was in operation in its court field had been sent home, local fitness officials said.
Norfolk officials declared the Banham outbreak on Tuesday and said at the time that seven positive checks had been returned. That number increased to 46 the following day and 75 on Thursday, as additional control effects were sent.
Sad news from the Royal Shakespeare Company, which has said it will initiate dismissal consultations with some workers and hopes that their theatres will reopen absolutely until next year.
Artistic director Gregory Doran and executive director Catherine Mallyon issued a statement: “It is now transparent that the ongoing pandemic and the process of needing social estrangement means that we will not be at the level of full CSR productions in our theaters until 2021.”
They added: “It is with a wonderful sadness that we have now reached the level where a formal consultation procedure with workers must take a position to safeguard the long term of the company.
“We were hoping that things would be more positive from now on, but that wasn’t the case.”
One of the country’s most sensible police officers said he was “upset” by the accumulation of attacks on emergency officials in England and Wales.

The number of other people who tested positive for Covid-19 declined during the week for the first time since early July. This is despite a 2% increase in the number of tests performed.
