Here is a puzzle for which there is no correct answer.
1/ Four passengers were fined £10K each for failure to declare they had arrived from a 'red list' country. That's 4 people.
2/ Six people did declare correctly and went to a hotel. That's 4 + 6 = 10
3/ Four flights arrived in to Birmingham on Monday, one was from Istanbul with 100 passengers on board, some of whom had started their journey in a 'red list' country.

So 6 people on an aircraft of 100 started in a 'red list' country and could easily have passed on Covid to the other 94.

they dont want to shut down the air industry, which enforced quarantine would do as no bugger will fly in. which of course is the point of full quarantine. its a difficult balance, keeping some flights keeps a lot ticking over.
It's also missing a massive opportunity to revitalise the hotel and hospitality industry, or a decent chunk of it anyway! Al those thousands of people paying full board for ten days!

You would assume at least one of the numerous tests they need to take would pick it up at some point

Some Airlines are also doing tests at the airport.
