Quarantine hotels in the UK opened to their first guests on Monday, but some guests staying in them have expressed concerns about their safety, the cost and whether the system works.
Everyone who has visited or transited through 33 countries on the UK’s “red list” who arrive in England must stay 11 nights in a quarantine hotel.
One guest said it was “like prison”.
People travelling from red list countries to Wales and Northern Ireland will be required to book and pay for quarantine in England.
