"She is a doctor and did not think it would be an issue."

Then perhaps her fitness to practice medicine in this country requires some urgent scrutiny?

Mohamed entered the UK a year ago when her husband obtained a job here and she is also studying in this country.
Dr. Mohamed told the court: 'I know I am guilty, but I did not intend to do this, but I was in a rush to go to Egypt and that is why I did this.
'I wanted to make sure I was free of Covid and did that lateral flow test. I did not believe it was a very big issue like this.'

What else don't you believe is 'a big issue', I wonder? 

She was sentenced to six weeks imprisonment, suspended for twelve months and ordered to perform 60 hours community service and pay £85 costs and a £128 victim surcharge.

No-one should be surprised by this, not at this point in the continuing downward spiral of Britain's reputation...

    I think you can assume that, if she's already authorised to practice in the UK, the GMC will not stop her practising. After all in this case

    Dr Bawa-Garba was allowed to return to practice after being found guilty of manslaughter.

    Moreover, she's saved a bit: the legal tests would have cost around £360 (3 x £120) but she is only having to cough up £213 (fine + "victim" surcharge). Admittedly though, 60 hours "communal service" might put a crimp in her social life for a few weeks.

    Considering the way this COVID nonsense is playing out, I probably would have done the same thing

    Removing her from the Medical Register would be a good start

    I fear you're right.

    "Considering the way this COVID nonsense is playing out, I probably would have done the same thing"

    I've never understood the argument that if a law is stupid, it's ok to break it. Lobby against it! Change it!

    "Removing her from the Medical Register would be a good start"

    You spelled 'UK' wrong.

    Lobby for a change in the law? That only works for people who want more laws, never less.
    I'm a firm believer that good people should ignore bad laws
