A link at last.

[Four air passengers have each been
fined £10,000 for failing to declare they
had travelled from a "red-list" country,
West Midlands Police has said.
They were stopped at border control
by officials and were not able
to leave Birmingham Airport.
Under new rules, arrivals in England have
to quarantine in hotels,
if within the last 10 days they have
been in a country deemed a high Covid risk.
The "red list" of 33 countries
includes Portugal, Brazil and South Africa.
The regulations came into effect on Monday
and the four passengers had been fined by midday,
a senior officer told a meeting of the
West Midlands Strategic Policing and Crime Board.
Temporary Assistant Chief Constable
Chris Todd said that in the same timeframe,
the airport received six passengers who
did declare travel from a red-list country,
who were taken to a quarantine hotel.
But of the offenders he added: "There are
some people who have attempted to hide
their routes but that's not worked out."
Birmingham Airport is one of five in
England where people requiring hotel quarantine
can enter the UK.
Those who fail to self-isolate as required
face fines of £5,000 to £10,000,
while anyone who lies on their
passenger locator form
about having been in a country on the
red list faces a prison sentence
of up to 10 years.
The rules aim to stop coronavirus variants
entering the UK.
It was not clear in the board meeting
which country or countries the fined
parties had been in.]

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is due to set out later her government's plans for getting pupils currently in Covid lockdown back into classrooms . Currently, the youngest pupils and older children who have to do coursework are due back in from next week. And while Ms Sturgeon has said she is "very keen" to have a phased return to school, Scottish ministers will review the latest coronavirus data and scientific advice before confirming the next steps later.

Yes Scotland taking more care.

Let’s hope they are more reliable than the LFD ones used in schools currently.. as low as 48% accurate apparently

Thursday will be 2 weeks since my old mum caught Covid in hospital, just
spoke with her and she is ok and doing well. Ironically she is in there because
she had heart failure and breathing difficulties but she is a tough old bird and
tomorrow she is 82. I wont say that its not been a stressful time but
