Covid in Scotland: ‘Heartless’ quarantine decision to be re-examined
Scotland’s health secretary has ordered สล็อตออนไลน์ a review of the case of an expat woman pleading to be reunited with her terminally-ill father.
Laura Souter, who works in Dubai, is quarantining in Majorca after the Scottish government refused to exempt her from self-isolation rules.
Iain Soutar is receiving palliative care after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.
The family fear Laura’s return could be too late to give her dad “a final hug”.
Health Secretary Humza Yousaf told BBC Scotland he had asked his team to look again at the case with the “urgency this requires”.
If Laura, who is fully vaccinated, returns to Scotland immediately she would have to restart her 10-day isolation period in a hotel, and would only be allowed to make a visit to her father before returning to self-isolation.
But if she completes her 10-day isolation in Majorca, she would not arrive in Scotland until Tuesday and says the delay has been unbearable as her father may only have days to live.
Iain’s loved ones were previously told by Scottish government officials their case did not merit an exemption to the rules.
