Aside from the steep cost of being forced to quarantine after returning from South Africa, conditions inside these hotels leave a great deal to be desired.
Ireland has dropped the mandatory quarantine policy for travellers coming from countries on their high-risk list, which has opened up a bit of a loophole.
South Africans are still on the UK’s red list, which means there are really strict (and very costly) travel requirements for Saffas touching down.
British residents returning home from South Africa will have to fork out for a 10-day hotel quarantine, which doesn’t come cheap.
