OK then, but the UK is currently one of those places. Without good reason it's currently prohibited.

ANd I honestly don't have a problem with it, we're in the midst of a pandemic. :shrug:

I have a problem with it. The definition of "pandemic warranting a lockdown" is a national one, and other countries have a different opinion on it.

By all means, protect your own country by preventing people from going in, but people should be free to leave to a different place with more relaxed rules at their own risk.

The issue is people coming back from these places.

Preventing your citizens from coming back is worse.
