Criticism from former government adviser comes as Labour claims changes were politically motivated
Ministers have destroyed the public’s trust in travel quarantine rules, a former government adviser has said, as Labour MPs claimed the changes for England were politically motivated rather than based on public health.
The criticism came after the latest update to the traffic light system that grades countries depending on their Covid case, vaccine and variant rate, in which a host of European destinations moved to the green list while others were downgraded from red to amber.
