Australia, for one.
from the Deparment of Health COVID factsheet-
Airline crew who have been on international flights must self-isolate in their crew accommodation or home for 14 days after arrival, or until their next flight, whichever is shorter.
the above requirement means that you could be in permanent isolation. Home-work-home-work only, unless you get 14 days at home without going overseas, then you can go outside the home and do something.
”self isolation” in this case in Aus means stay at home. You can only leave the house to go to work, a medical appointment or to escape harm (ie fire, flood, violence).
crazily, I could do a flight to NZ
(which is mostly Covid free) and back to home base, in one duty, not set foot outside the plane other than a walk-around, yet I’d have to isolate in Aus when I return.
make sense? No. That’s government!
