Beware pitfalls of our new mandatory hotel quarantine
Reading now: 319
It has been a year when, for public health reasons, significant restrictions have been placed on fundamental human freedoms.
These restrictions need to be proportionate, reasonable and based on good science. Many people say they have barely stepped out of their homes over the past year, due to fears about Covid-19.
In such circumstances, mandatory hotel quarantine may not seem like such a major imposition, especially as it lasts for a finite period, probably 12 days in most cases.
But the health and safety of "guests" is a very important aspect too and Ireland is doing this for the first time. What something is new, it can have pitfalls.
