Serikali ya Uingereza yapitisha sheria ya faini ya pauni 5,000 kwa watu wote wataosafiri nje ya nchi hiyo kwa ajili ya mapumziko.
Sheria hiyo itaanza kutumika (England) kuanzia wiki ijayo kutokana na hofu ya kuibuka upya kwa wimbi la ugonjwa wa corona
Sheria hiyo imeanza kulalamikiwa na watu wengi wakidai inawanyima uhuru wao wa kikatiba

A £5,000 fine for anyone in England trying to travel abroad without good reason is due to come into force next week as part of new coronavirus laws.
The penalty is included in legislation that will be voted on by MPs on Thursday.
Foreign holidays are currently not allowed under the "stay at home" rule which ends on Monday.
From next week the ban on leaving the UK will become a specific law, backed up by the threat of the fine.
Under the current plan for easing restrictions, the earliest date people in England could go abroad for a holiday would be 17 May.
However, another surge in Covid cases in continental Europe, as well as the slow rollout of vaccines across Europe, has cast doubt on the resumption of foreign travel.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said restrictions on travelling abroad were necessary to guard against the importation of large numbers of cases and new variants which might put the vaccine rollout at risk.
Shadow Cabinet Office minister Rachel Reeves told BBC Breakfast that Labour supported measures to keep the UK's borders secure and avoid the importation of new variants but said the government's "slowness to react" had contributed to the country's high death rate.
