Britain eases quarantine as US under siegeRio de Janeiro is reopening despite Brazil's surging coronavirus outbreak. LONDON: Britain on Friday announced the first exemptions from its quarantine rules as the coronavirus outbreak slowed in Europe, but excluded the United States as the pandemic accelerates in the United States and across the Americas. In Europe, countries are trying to safely revive a struggling tourism sector as the northern hemisphere summer gets underway. But the United States and Greece, another popular travel destination, will be designated with a red light, which requires 14 days of self-isolation. Indigenous people across Latin America have been particularly hard hit due to weak immune systems and centuries of state neglect.
