Woman stuck in hotel quarantine had to say goodbye to dying sister on phone as not exempt

A woman stuck in a quarantine hotel has hit out after her sister's death did not qualify her for exemption - forcing her say goodbye over the phone.

Billie Gray, 27, who had been working in Sweden since August, believed she would be able to isolate at her mum's house upon her return to Scotland after two negative coronavirus tests.

But when she landed at Edinburgh Airport last Friday she was told she would not be allowed through border control unless she agreed to quarantine at a nearby hotel.

This meant she had to speak to sister Maryanne, 48, for the last time over the phone as she died in hospital from kidney and liver failure on Monday, reports the Daily Record.
