Repayment of £2285 or more to quarantine in a hotel from Red list countries.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

As a British citizen, we should not have been forced to pay £2285 to quarantine in a hotel. The government should payback this money to everyone who’s had to do that (irrespective of whether they tested positive or not) in such short notice after deadline on 6th Dec 2021.
This will need to be honoured by the government as this has put a lot of people in unnecessary debt, and has also had detrimental effects on the mental health and well-being. Often times, it felt as though we were in “glorified prison” and the state of the food in some of the hotels were unacceptable.
