Exemption from hotel quarantine for NHS staff travelling from home Countries

What the petition asks
There are so many people working in the NHS but their families are abroad. They haven’t seen their families for nearly 2 years now. If they travel for valid reasons , not for holidays ,to visit their home countries , it is just inhumane to ask them stay in hotel quarantine and pay £1750 for it.
For the reasons mentioned . They can be asked to stay home quarantine and get tested before coming out of the quarantine . They should be asked to do hotel quarantine if they are going for holidays but not when they need to go visit their families for desperate reasons. It is just not fair.
