China News Service, February 10th. According to the "Central News Agency" report, on the 9th local time, British Health Secretary Hancock announced a series of strict epidemic prevention measures. If travelers entering the UK conceal their travel history to the "red list" areas, May face up to 10 years in prison.
On December 21, 2020, local time, during the rush hour commuting in London, England, there were only a few passengers wearing masks on the subway.
According to reports, Hancock stated that starting from the 15th, all passengers entering the UK must submit an inspection report within 72 hours, whether at home or in a hotel, on the second and eighth days of the 10-day quarantine period. Every day, they must be tested again.
He said, "All of this is to strengthen protection, and everyone must work together to maintain border security."
In addition, only British or Irish citizens or citizens with the right of abode in the UK can enter the country from the 33 countries on the "red list", and citizens of other nationalities are prohibited from entering the UK from these countries.
According to the report, people who are allowed to enter must be quarantined in government-designated hotels for 10 days, and the accommodation expenses are borne by themselves.
Passengers who fail to go to the government-designated hotel for isolation will face high fines.
The countries on the "red list" include South Africa, Brazil, Chile and other countries.
Hancock said: "Anyone who lied on the notice and tried to conceal that travellers who had been to the'red list' country within 10 days before entering the country will face up to 10 years in prison."
