The two-week quarantine rule will apply to travellers in Switzerland, Jamaica and the Czech Republic who return to the UK from 0400 on Saturday. The UK government said the move was needed to keep UK infection rates down. People arriving in Scotland from Switzerland are already required to self-isolate. In health news, the number of daily UK cases of coronavirus has risen to 1,522 in the past 24 hours - the highest tally since mid-June. That is still much lower than the 5,000 new cases a day in April, at the peak of the epidemic. In world news, a white supremacist who killed 51 people at two mosques in New Zealand will serve life in jail without parole - the first person in the country's history to receive the sentence. Australian Brenton Tarrant, 29, admitted to the murder of 51 people, attempted murder of another 40 people and one charge of terrorism. Finally, at least four people have been killed by falling trees as Hurricane Laura battered the US state of Louisiana. Winds of up to 150 mph caused severe damage, with power cuts to more than half a million homes and a chemical fire from an industrial plant. But the feared 20 ft storm surge was avoided as the hurricane, the state's most significant, tracked further east. Nothing like that in S Dorset, but heavy rain did cause some flash flooding. I have not seen rain like it since I was serving in the jungle in Borneo. Much to get on with.
