More than 200 travel and hospitality companies have now called on the government to change planned quarantine rules, which they say are unworkable and will be deeply damaging to their industry.

The companies have joined the aviation industry in a growing backlash against rules due to be introduced from 8 June. All visitors and returning travellers entering the UK will have to quarantine for 14 days and face spot checks and fines for breaching isolation.
