That's going to drastically effect tourism. We here are on the amber list and our tourism is virtually non existent. It seems that many who return to the UK do not intend to self isolate anyway, and these employed Covid Police who are supposed to be checking, seem to be like Dodo's non existent, according to many in the UK. I watched the News a couple of days ago and it reported people were crossing the border from Gibraltar to Spain so, it maybe that the Government are trying to stop this fiddling of air traffic corridor's.

Well you live and learn. I had never heard of Eswatini, formally Swaziland, which I had heard of.
A country apparently rife with Aids and TB, not a lot going for it is there?

Would you still come then Newcastle even if you had to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days on returning to the UK.

It may be the UK has come to realise, the Covid infections and deaths are numbers that are not reliable, due to sunset burials without proper examinations and due to the lack of IT boffins it must even be hard for them to keep any form of track. Judging by what people tell me people are still it print guidelines, and looking at videos I would say correct they are not. I do feel sorry for the Country though because, not just Luxor, but Hurghada, Sharm, and the other Red Sea Resorts will now suffer. It must be a terrible state to be in a position with very few jobs, very little earnings etc I feel so sorry for the local community.
