A minute increase from yesterday, where 310 cases were reported.
No concerns for tomorrow’s UKhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇬🇧" title="Flagge des Vereinigten Königreiches" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge des Vereinigten Königreiches"> quarantine list review!
But ideally, we’d like to see cases level-off.

We know that the UK government https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇬🇧" title="Flagge des Vereinigten Königreiches" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge des Vereinigten Königreiches"> is taking a regional approach to quarantine measures for some nations.
In last Monday’s announcement in parliament, Shapps announced the following islands were to be added to England’s quarantine list, effective from 4:00am last Wednesdayhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">

And to reiterate again... we don’t know for certain how the UK government https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇬🇧" title="Flagge des Vereinigten Königreiches" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge des Vereinigten Königreiches"> decides which islands should be subject to quarantine measures on return.
But we do know the 7-day case rate per 100,000 people is not the only factor considered.

I know a lot of you are travelling to Kos & Rhodes.
Only one case in Kos today.... first time in a LONG time!
I wouldn’t be concerned about this.
Rhodes is in a good position too in comparison to other islands!
