This problem is not going to go away, not least because there is the *other side to it* - what happens when these fans return home from #EURO2020 - as #DeltaVariant continues to grow in 🇬🇧

Short 🧵

A few caveats first:
- this is based on current advice, or advice known for July if available. Is hence subject to change
- whether fans travelling for matches is a good idea is a different debate, don't @ - reply me on that
- this is about travel and politics, not ⚽️ per se

Data on cases in the UK - currently at 75 per 100000 inhabitants - can be found here: coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/cases

33360 cases of the Delta Variant in a week
theguardian.com/world/live/202…

Harries: "Cases are rising rapidly across the country and the Delta variant is now dominant."

So imagine a national team has qualified for the semi finals (6, 7 July) or final (11 July), all to be played at Wembley 🇬🇧

If what Winter writes is correct, fans can get *to* 🇬🇧, but what happens when they return home?

I've examined 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇧🇪🇳🇱🇪🇸🇮🇹🇵🇹 - the 7 favourites to win the tournament according to Oddschecker (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 is in the top 8 as well, but does not need examining in this thread by definition)

🇩🇪

🇬🇧 is considered a "Virusvariantengebiet" by RKI
rki.de/DE/Content/Inf…

This means 14 day obligatory quarantine for anyone returning to 🇩🇪 from 🇬🇧. Even a negative PCR test can't free you from this early

🇫🇷

Those fully vaccinated do not have to go into quarantine. Those not vaccinated do have to quarantine for 7 days, even if the obligatory test upon entry from 🇬🇧 is negative diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/conseils-au…

🇧🇪

2 tests, and compulsory quarantine upon return from 🇬🇧 - although I find contradictory information about whether it is 7 or 10 days in length

🇳🇱

Bit harder to work this out. Combination of this nederlandwereldwijd.nl/landen/verenig… and this reizentijdenscorona.rijksoverheid.nl/en/verenigd-ko… says quarantine might be required, but it is not clear

🇮🇹

No compulsory quarantine for those returning from 🇬🇧 salute.gov.it/portale/nuovoc…

🇪🇸

At the moment 🇬🇧 not considered a risk country, so no quarantine - latest PDF linked here: mscbs.gob.es/en/profesional…

🇵🇹

Again not a simple one, but I *think* quarantine is not required, at least according to this cached page webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache…

I can see only two options here, really...

At least in 🇫🇷🇧🇪🇩🇪, and possibly the others too if the 🇬🇧 situation worsens, fans are going to be strongly urged not to travel

Or UEFA is going to have to switch the venue

P.S. Other tweeps helped me understand:
🇳🇱 mandatory 10 day quarantine (tougher than I thought)

https://twitter.com/rniamat/status/1405827353373257731

🇵🇹 no quarantine

P.P.S. More detail about 🇧🇪 - if the second test during quarantine (at 7 day mark) is negative you can then leave quarantine...
