The opposition has warned that the Government's hotel quarantine legislation, which is to be debated tomorrow, does not go far enough.

The legislation will see travellers from a list of 20 countries forced to quarantine in specific hotels in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and new variants of the disease.
