I know someone who got back to Gatwick from Cuba yesterday. The hotel were asking them to pay £1000 per room per week for the whole of their stay. They were allowed to leave without paying after the British Ambassador to Cuba gave a guarantee to the Cuban authorities that the scheme would cover the costs for the full length of their stay.
If the scheme does cover the full length without recovery from insurers the final cost is going to be much higher than the £100M being quoted.
