Matthew Fell, CBI Chief UK Policy Director, said:

“Quarantining has been necessary to help contain the virus, but it is a blunt instrument that has damaging effects on trade and tourism alike.

“The move to regional travel corridors is a positive step towards what must be a more targeted approach. Industry and government must continue to work together on vital next steps, such as the introduction of testing at airports as a genuine alternative to lengthy quarantine periods.”
