Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the number of seafarers who will be required to quarantine in hotels each week after arriving into the UK from red list countries during the covid-19 outbreak.

Seamen, masters, inspectors and surveyors of ships are not required to quarantine in hotels, even if they have been in any country on the travel ban ‘red list’ in the previous 10 days.
