Amid confusion caused by U.K. reimposing #quarantine on arrivals from #Spain, what wd best practice be? Let’s look at how #Estonia does it #bestpractices /1

Every Friday, Estonian MFA posts list of countries and their #COVIDー19 infection rates. If you arrive from a country with rate >16 per 100,000, then you must self-isolate for 2 weeks. /2

But while list updated every Friday, new quarantine rules only kick in following Monday. So there is time to change plans if needed. Latest country list here: vm.ee/en/information… /3

So excellent balance of health security, real-time updates and consideration for travellers. Not for first time, @EstonianGovt one of smartest in world #bestpractices. And one more thing..../4

Although #Estonia has one of lowest infection rates in world, UK visitors still have to self-isolate for 2 weeks on return to U.K. Makes no sense at all. /end
