Ministers 'don't know' if Covid travel rules worked, report finds
People travelling to the UK found the traffic light rules difficult to understand, the Public Accounts Committee saidThe UK's traffic light system - which saw travellers from 'red' countries pay to quarantine in hotels - caused "confusion and disruption", the Public Accounts Committee said.The government said the rules "bought vital time" to manage new variants.
People returning from countries in each category were subject to different testing and isolation rules, with those returning from red-list countries forced to pay up to £2,200 to quarantine in a hotel for at least 10 days. The government did not track its spending on managing travel into the country, the MPs claimed, and does not know if the cost "was worth the disruption caused".
