By EUobserver
The UK will require passengers arriving from countries where worrying coronavirus variants are spreading to pay for 10 days of quarantine in hotels, while rule-breakers will face heavy fines or jail terms, under tighter restrictions from next week, Reuters reports. "Anyone who lies on the passenger locator form [...] will face a prison sentence of up to 10 years," UK health secretary Matt Hancock told parliament.
