YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNick Ferrari asked the Northern Ireland Secretary why the government is only now bringing in the quarantine rules for international travellers, telling him: "This should have been done weeks ago."
Anyone coming into the UK from abroad will have to quarantine for 14 days from Monday to slow the spread of coronavirus.
But Nick asked why the plan was announced on 23rd May, but is only being launched next week - at a time when most countries are easing their border controls.
He said: "There's growing opposition to this quarantine plan that is coming in on Monday. Even Theresa May, who is anything but a rebel, is also against it, as are scientists.
"Why are the government persisting with this?"
Brandon Lewis responded: "The scientific advice is clear. Coronavirus is entering the UK. As our level of the spread of the infection within our communities is now falling, this is the right time to bring in a measure like this.
"But we will keep this under review."
