"From 04:00hrs Saturday 3rd Oct people on any flight flying in from Turkey and landing at a Scottish airport must fully isolate for 14 days A friend flew in late Friday night before the 04:00am deadline and he and his family are addiment they are not going to isolate. Both Husband and wife are going to their place of work Monday Morning both young kids going to grandparents are they doing right or wrong? should they fully isolate incase someone was infected on flight? or do they ignore and say "it wont happen to us" whats your views and comments folks? " If they made it back before the deadline, then they are under no legal obligation to isolate. It also means they don't qualify for financial assistance. There has to be a time based cut off somewhere and you will never get everyone. The certainly should take all the precautions they can though to minimise contact with other people for a couple of weeks. | |||

"Everyone flying into the country should be made to isolate. Can't believe how lapsy daisy British airports are." With this logic everyone going out of his house should be made to isolate on return. | |||

Going through an airport with hundreds of other people and being sat in close contact with others on an aeroplane is very very different. | |||

"Extortionate fines in place to try to deter because they know they can't police it. " If th4y were finding you 50 quid then I would agree it couldn't be policed. But I think what you call extortionate will make it possible to police...so if you cant take the hit dont do the trip. | |||

"Everyone flying into the country should be made to isolate. Can't believe how lapsy daisy British airports are." Would it have been a better idea would be to issue a mandatory covid test to all arrivals and factor the cost into their air ticket or make it a condition of entry? | |||

"My friend went to europe a couple of months ago. Went from croatia, to italy, to Malta. I believe he missed the isolation period for travellers from Croatia to italy by a couple of days, then missed the malta deadline by 4 hours and 5 minutes. He didn't have to quarantine and he didn't kill his granny."  | |||

" Just because they went on Holiday doesn't mean that they have caught the Virus - Just because they are coming home hours before a deadline doesn't mean that they have caught the Virus. If they haven't caught it in - those scenarios - then chances are that they have been careful while away and don't have it now. And like you say already - before the 4am cutoff they don't legally have to do anything. The Law really can't run on what ifs. Otherwise you would be screaming foul play if you were prosecuted for traveling within a legal speed limit.  | |||

"Everyone flying into the country should be made to isolate. Can't believe how lapsy daisy British airports are. With this logic everyone going out of his house should be made to isolate on return. "
ive just been abroad and have 2 days left of isolation ... i am no more ill or infectious from going abroad than i could have been if i went to tesco
i understand the reason for quarantine where the rates are higher than the uk so you are increasing your risk (where i was was actually much lower) and i obeyed the rules to the letter because its the responsible thing to do
however the reality is unless we can eradicate the virus from our own country and then start isolating everyone entering (like they have done in perth) there really isnt a huge benefit to isolating everyone and the have closed the gate long after the horse has bolted | |||

"But similarly - you could have just caught Covid from a Banana in Tesco or a fuel pump at Esso or a person who just coughed and you walked through the mist or the air-con in Marks and Spencer or any number of billion other places - just because someone has been on holiday makes them no more or no less a risk of having caught it than you right now this minute if you are in any public space. The virus can live on hard surfaces for up to 72 hours. Who went past your car and touched anything you might touch 50 hours later or any other hard surface. Go home and Isolate right now !!! | |||

"There needs to be a cut off or you would be saying well what about the people the day before and the day before that. Tests aren’t accurate anyway, I know someone who had 4 negative tests and was that poorly they were taken to hospital and there it showed up in her bloods but not by a swab so how many think they are clear when they are not?" Hmmm...that's worrying... | |||

Go home and Isolate right now !!!"in tesco you wear gloves & mask, and also clean hands on leaving, duration - 20 mins max Fuel stations provide gloves, you also have your own gloves, well perhaps "you dont" but most do, and you clean hands after, duration 2 - 3 mins a person coughing, ehhh social distancing, they would not get that close anyway + masks M&S again you wear masks & social distance with a minimum time spent in shop you say there is the same risk being in an open public space as there is on a packed aircraft with a 5 hour flight, then good luck to you if so many believe that then no wonder the UK is in such a bad place right now so many people have such a lack of understanding of this virus or they simply fail to believe. good luck. | |||

good luck."when i go to the supermarket around only half the people are wearing masks, i have no idea how many of them used the hand sanitiser but we are all handling items on shelves and the cashier handles every item which we then touch again as we pack the shopping, i never see people wearing gloves in supermarkets but since they don’t help anyway that doesn’t bother me (they touch everything your skin would touch just the same) on my recent flight there was a grand total of 21 people ... we had a few rows each so were well spaced out masks must be worn from the minute you get inside one airport , all through the flight, til you leave the arriving airport (actually in tenerife i had to keep it on til inside my apartment as you wear them in the streets there too) the airports are practically empty the air hosts only bring the trolley down once and collect rubbish once to avoid too much interaction, all payments are made by contactless card you must ring the call bell to be allowed to use the bathroom so there is no queueing in the aisles and you aren't allowed to wander about the plane to stretch your legs like you normally would if you think a flight is of any higher risk than a trip to wetherspoons then i think you are incorrectly basing it on your flight experience pre covid and maybe you shouldn’t judge on what you clearly have no idea about | |||

"this is a waste of test and part of the reason we don't have enough spare testing capacity for people who need it ... people who have expanded the guidelines for their own paranoia and convinced themselves its their moral obligation to ensure they are negative just because 
just wash your hands, wear a mask, keep a distance like everyone else has been told to | |||
