Passengers arriving at Heathrow Airport were allegedly told to make up that they would self-isolate upon their return despite not having to as they are double-jabbed. But according to the Telegraph, the Passenger Locator Form still hasn't been updated to reflect the exemption, which came into force on Freedom Day. It allegedly resulted in one passenger claiming he was told to lie that he would be self-isolating so he could skip the queue. The news comes just a week after warnings of queues of up to six hours as staff are feared to be under-prepared for the influx of amber list arrivals resulting from the scrapping of quarantine.
