A quick thread about the legal issues surrounding the imposition of a “quarantine at a hotel” requirement for international travellers. These are initial thoughts: would welcome thoughts and contributions! NB I’m thinking about 🏴 only but this probably applies equally to 🏴.

There’s going to be a lot more doors knocked in in the next few weeks.
How high and how deep into the Trump establishment does it go.?
