    Prof. Devi Sridhar Retweeted Helen Branswell

    WHO won’t ever speak openly about travel restrictions. Up to countries to decide (based on their epidemic situation) what is best. Worth noting that no country has sustainably suppressed COVID without robust & enforced travel restrictions. Just keep re-importing new chains.https://twitter.com/HelenBranswell/status/1343605339980234752 …

    .@kakape asks the $64 trillion dollar question: How does @WHO feel about travel restrictions now? Question comes in the context of the emergence of new variants in the UK & South Africa. David Heymann, chair of a WHO advisory group: That's a country decision.

        Travel restrictions are not xenophobic or inwards-looking. Quite the opposite. Deal with your domestic problem first then richer govts have bandwidth to help poorer countries. NZ able to help its Pacific neighbours bc they handled their domestic problem first.

        It is incomprehensible how we haven't had an enforced policy banning travel in and out if the UK.. particularly as people still seem to think it's ok to go on holiday even now..I have our governments' failure on this

        Totally agree. Have the feeling that - God forbid - if a new and deadly virus were to be discovered somewhere overseas tomorrow or next week or next month, Johnson et al. *still* wouldn't ban flights from there or enforce proper screening of those arriving from there.

        genuine question devi (i know many trolls ask this..so i want to signal my honest intent!) have you evolved on this or did you also support china travel restrictions early in year when most in public health didnt? Its fine if your opinion changed, just wanted to know! thx

        Not closing the airports and border in July was probably the single biggest mistake made by Scottish Government. Still no explanation why they didn't do it. Those summer vacationers led directly to this extended 2nd Wave

        Where's the empirical evidence and data for this please? I'd be keen to read it. AFAIK the virus never really left Scotland but circulated at very low levels in the Summer.
