"And if you isolate for example in the same house as a health service worker, does the health service worker have to isolate as well? [And they say] Errrr we don't know.Michael O'Leary has slammed the government's plans for a 14-day quarantine on people coming into the countryMr O'Leary believes that as more countries across the EU follow suit, Britain will be forced to abandon its own quarantine, not long after it comes into effect.
"Covid-19 has largely been eliminated in the community in Italy and we think that's likely to happen across many more European economies over the next couple of weeks, including in the UK. He said: "There is considerable evidence that masks are effective in stopping the spread of Covid-19.Hitting back at Michael O'Leary's claims that the government would be unable to enforce a 14-day quarantine, the Culture secretary has today suggested that the new rules for people travelling to the UK will be enforced by law.
