Review quarantine rules for international arrivals travelling for work

What the petition asks
People who have to travel outside of the UK for work should not have to pay £1,750 to isolate at a hotel when travelling from red listed countries. The Government should either pay this fee for them, or allow them to self-isolate at home.
Some companies will not cover the cost of this so it’s left for the employee to cover, and many people cannot afford that amount out of their wages.
