disappointing lack of polysyllabic vocab so far.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 15/01/2021 17:06

That would be the passenger locator form nobody’s bothering to look at on landing isn’t it?

WhiteChocTwix · 15/01/2021 17:07

Bozza looks like he's had a sneaky trim!

Cigarette lighter flicked and held high as I read MN....

StealthPolarBear · 15/01/2021 17:16

Has anything important been announced

Anniegetyourgun · 15/01/2021 17:17

Real border closing? Only 11 months late... Confused

Stovetopespresso · 15/01/2021 17:17

all travel corridors shut. maybe brexit wasn't such a bad thing after all?

Mummyoflittledragon · 15/01/2021 17:17

We can’t have the disease run riot in the younger generations. Bozo. It already is. 🙄

Puzzledandpissedoff · 15/01/2021 17:18

Travel "corridors" all closed - instead those arriving will have to hold a negative test to enter and submit to another after 5 days in quarantine

Good luck expecting that to be enforced ...

France shut its borders to us before we left for over 48 hours. Brexshit makes no difference there.
Puzzledandpissedoff · 15/01/2021 17:19

Real border closing?

Afraid not ... see replies above

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 15/01/2021 17:19

Only really the stuff about banning flights from S America announced yesterday, a,ong with insisting people have filled out the locator form before take off and quarantine for 10 days when they land.

We’re on to providing waffling answers to questions now.

I wonder at what point people have to show initial test result - and how it’s set up
Stovetopespresso · 15/01/2021 17:20

@tinselearedcow just that u can get it from standing too close in the queue or handling stuff while shopping, maybe not that scary but some kind of reminder or criticism intended there...

Stovetopespresso · 15/01/2021 17:22

@MarshaBradyo those tests which are only 50% accurate

GabsAlot · 15/01/2021 17:23

how wil the enforce quarantine

in oz you have to go to a hotel for 2 weeks and not move

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 15/01/2021 17:25

Good question Libby. Why are we only closing the borders now?

God yes it is absolutely supermarket queues that are keeping us in this mess and not the abject and utter failure of the track and trace system isn’t it
