There is confusion as all four nations now have different rules for Greece.

All politicians have claimed that they are acting on medical advice yet the interpretation was so different.

The big news of the week, as if I need to tell you, is that as of 4am tomorrow, you will need to go into a 14-day quarantine on returning from France, Malta and the Netherlands and the Turks & Caicos Islands.
