But the UK has a current rate at least 4-5 times (often much more) higher than our main holiday destinations.
I can understand flights from mainland Europe to SE Asia wanting to bypass Qatar/Dubai/Singapore but why would these destination countries want the risk of accepting UK visitors?
Our rate is falling, but not as fast as some people had expected.
No, that's the problem. If I were sitting on the other side I'd still be looking for UK arrivals to quarantine until the UK gets it's new cases regularly under 1,000 per day. Of course we are running a couple of weeks behind most of Europe, so by the 14th of June we might have achieved that.
