A traumatised mum-of-two claims she has been 'locked up ' abroad in a 'filthy room with bed bugs ' after testing positive for covid-19 .
Nathalie Hopley , 37 , flew to Corfu , Greece , on October 6 for a week away with her family of five .
But her all inclusive holiday soon turned to hell as she was quarantined after three days .
The travel agent from Chester says she has been forced to stay in a 'filthy ' and 'bed-bug ridden ' quarantine block .
Nathalie said : `` I did n't expect to be tested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ certainly did n't expect a positive result .
`` I 've been treated like a criminal and there is absolutely no care factor at all .
`` I 've been forced to isolate alone in a run down building which is completely unsanitary .
`` I was separated from my children Amealia , 16 and Henri , 11 - it has been traumatic .
`` I 've been sleeping with the bathroom light on to feel a bit safer in the room .
`` There 's bed bugs and my step-daughter Caitlyn , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` I 've been in the room for two weeks and have n't had any clean sheets .
`` The positive test result , I can accept .
I have no symptoms but perhaps I am asymptomatic .
`` But I should n't have to isolate in an unacceptable level of accommodation . ''
Nathalie is furious with the travel company Jet2 after claiming they did not make her aware of this possibility prior to flying .
She claims there is no warning online either .
She said : `` Jet2 have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ part of the entry requirements for Greece .
`` Jet2 solely focus on the entry requirements being just a passenger locator form with a small print and link to the ForeignCommonwealth Department Office website for further information if needed .
`` Even when you follow the link this does not give you a clear understanding of the protocol for quarantine in Greece , never mind give you a location or advice as to what the conditions may be .
`` This is paramount for customers so they can make a clear unbiased decision @ @ @ @ @ @ @ risk to travel to Greece .
`` There is n't any information is listed on the FCDO website as to what kind of quarantine conditions will be implemented .
`` On day three of our holiday , I was told about the result and told to immediately return to the hotel .
`` A security guard was put on our door and we were treated like criminals .
`` Jet2 should have known where we were being sent to and we felt they just washed their hands of the situation .
`` They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ passengers and an obligation to carry out and they failed us miserably .
`` We booked a nice all inclusive holiday and ended up being served government funded meals of poor quality in an unsanitary location , not even a care package was sent to us by Jet2 .
`` Jet2 seemed happy to deliver us to hell and hand us over to authorities . ''
The following day , the family claim they were taken to a 'run down ' building to isolate .
Nathalie has her own room and her partner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Henri , 11 , for ten days .
Whilst her teenage daughter Amealia , 16 and step-daughter Caitlyn , 16 , had their own room .
The children have flew home after ten days and Aaron waited for Nathalie to be released on October 20 .
She said : `` Our government are deeming some destinations as safe .
The rules and regulations are not clear .
`` It does say on the Greek government website that it could happen and you can isolate in your hotel room or a villa .

`` I have watched the cleaners following a departure and they are not thorough - this is meant to be a deadly virus .

Nathalie and her partner Aaron , 40 , claim they fork out over £2000 for their break away .
She said : `` It has been a stressful year for everyone .
`` The girls did their GCSE @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a prom - we wanted to give them a bit of normality .
It has been the complete opposite . ''
A Jet2 spokeswoman said : `` Following a positive COVID-19 test , the relevant protocols were initiated by the local authorities in Corfu .
`` We were obviously sorry to hear about this experience and we can confirm that the customer has returned back to the UK .
`` We were in contact with the customer to do what we could throughout , including arranging flights back to the UK . ''

United lost almost double what they were expecting, as a result of Covid-19, with their net debt up to £474.1m from £203.6m a year ago.
"On the field, we will never be satisfied at Manchester United unless we are winning trophies," said Woodward.

"But our third-place finish in the Premier League and strong cup runs last season showed that, while there is more hard work ahead and the path is not always smooth, we are making progress.
"We have a clear strategy under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to build a successful, committed team, with a core of home-grown talent blended with high-quality recruits, that plays fast flowing, attacking football.
"To that end, we are pleased with our recent additions to the First Team squad of Donny van de Beek and Alex Telles, two players we had been tracking as part of our recruitment process for a long period, and Edinson Cavani, a top striker who adds a new option to our forward line.

"We also welcome Facundo Pellistri and Amad Diallo, who will join in January, two exciting young prospects who have also been scouted extensively.
"Added to the arrival of Bruno Fernandes earlier this year, these recruits underscore our continued commitment to strengthening the squad and take our net investment in new players since summer 2019 to over €200m – more, I believe, than any other major European club over that time period."
On the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on United's finances, Woodward said: "We are looking back today on what has been one of the most extraordinary and challenging seasons in recent history.
"There are still big challenges and uncertainties ahead as the coronavirus pandemic continues to disrupt our way of life across the globe.
"This disruption is clear to see in the financial results that we are announcing today and we expect the impact to remain visible for quite some time to come.
"However, the past year has also demonstrated the underlying strength and resilience of the club and the meaningful impact the club can make in our communities through this period of adversity."

He fell to the floor as Radcliffe used a “stabbing motion as quick as she could”, and screamed "get off me", the court heard. He was stabbed twice but managed to run away.

Witness Ms Saurin went into the shop, where she screamed for help and for someone to call the police.
Radcliffe followed her in and asked her: “Do you want some of this?”
The attacker then grabbed Ms Saurin and started swinging the knife, leaving her with stab wounds to her face and hands that needed stitches.
Hero Mr Rees, who was hailed by the judge, intervened and tried to tackle Radcliffe, who knocked him to the floor.
Mrs Way heard Radcliffe shout "I’m going to kill somebody" and was knifed in the neck.
The defendant went back to Mr Rees, who kicked out at her and saved Ms Saurin's life, the court was told.
He and another man had intervened in a desperate bid to protect her.
“A selfless and brave act which cost him his life,” prosecutor Michael Jones QC told the court.
He added: “Another customer, Lisa Way, attempted to talk to the defendant but she was attacked and injured by the knife.
“The defendant focused on Mr Rees and repeatedly attacked him with a glass wine bottle and a fire extinguisher as he laid on the floor.”
Mr Jones added: "The defendant unleashed what can only be described as a horrifically violent attack upon Mr Rees.

"It was all captured on the store's CCTV and it continued until it was quite obvious he was dead."
Describing the CCTV footage that was shown in court, Mr Jones said: “Mr Rees is on his back on the floor. First the defendant picks up a glass wine bottle and repeatedly hits him with it, once to the chest and three times deliberately and forcefully to the head and his face. The third time it broke.
“She picked up another and hit him to the head and the face 21 times with a glass bottle. He is obviously injured and weakened by the attack. He is on the floor on his back and slowly becoming less conscious.
“The defendant walks away briefly before walking back towards Mr Rees with a heavy fire extinguisher in her hand and she strikes him to the head three times with the base of it.
“He was killed by the attack to the extent no attempts were made to revive him by paramedics. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
“Police officers arrived and were given a description by witnesses.

“When approached by officers she put her hands in a praying motion. She was asked where she put the knife and she pointed out where it was.
“On the shop floor there were various droplets of blood. The defendant said, ‘It had to be done and that’s it’.”
CCTV footage showed Radcliffe walking away after hitting Mr Rees with the fire extinguisher, and then returning to his lifeless body three times to shout at him.
Radcliffe, of Porth, was arrested inside the store by police, who rushed to the scene following multiple 999 calls and arrived within minutes.
When she was quizzed by officers, she said she thought "someone was going to end up killing me" and "had voices in her head telling her to kill someone before she is killed".
She said in a police interview: “I’m just sorry for my actions. Maybe I should have done things differently.”
A doctor's assessment found that before the attack Radcliffe had been hearing voices telling her that people were going to “slit her throat and kill her”.
On the day of the killing “the voices had become more real", the court heard.
Mr Jones said Radcliffe had “a delusional but specific intent to kill” brought about by her mental illness.
Radcliffe’s barrister Jonathan Rees QC told the court that she was not taking medication prescribed to her at the time because she was worried about the side effects.
He said: "She made genuine and sustained attempts to seek help before the tragic events took place,” he added.
He added: “She feels real horror, shame, and great distress at the fact she caused such harm and suffering.

“She is truly remorseful for the suffering she caused to the people she came across that day. She is trying to show that remorse not just through words but her actions also.
“Her actions were diminished by her severe mental health. The harm caused was irreparable but the evidence is clear that Miss Radcliffe would not have committed these offences if she was not severely mentally ill at the time."
The barrister said Radcliffe has had issues with anxiety and depression since 2009.
Dr Phillip Huckle, answering questions from Radcliffe’s barrister, recommended a "very lengthy" hospital order to protect the public.
The expert said: “When patients with schizophrenia kill it is usually members of their family and not members of the public and I think it is important that is heard.
“This is of the nature and degree that warrants the detention of a hospital order. I would have no hesitation to say she requires a section 41, meaning the responsible clinician is not responsible for the discharge of the patient.
“We are looking at a very lengthy order and any discharge in future should be closely monitored.”
Wednesday's hearing was told Radcliffe was given a conditional discharge after assaulting her sister in October 2013.
She was jailed for battery for twice punching a nurse in the face and an on-duty police officer to the nose in July 2017.
In a victim impact statement, Mr Rees' son-in-law Patrick Davidson Heuston said the pensioner "loved the Rhondda" and was "a respected member of the community".
Mr Reeshad worked for the South Wales Electricity and was “calm, generous, and humble".
The statement read: “We are very proud of the actions he took on the day but not surprised.
“Eunice has lost her lifelong companion, her carer, and her home. This is all she ever knew and this has been taken.”
A statement from longtime friend Wyndham Jones stated: "I would describe John as a true gem.
“He was the kindest person you could ever wish to meet. He had time for everyone. He was patient and understanding.
“He was so committed to working for his family and would go out of his way to help anyone. He was a proud gentleman and wouldn’t ask for help from anyone.
“We both went to church and he rang the bell every Thursday for the NHS. John was loved by so many of his friends, family, and local community. I will miss him dearly.”
Sentencing, Mrs Justice Jefford said the victims were "in the wrong place at the wrong time".
She hailed Mr Rees for coming to the rescue of Ms Saurin, saying he suffered a "horrific and sustained attack of great violence".
The judge added: “Mr Rees was a courageous man and his actions to the last saved the life of Gaynor Saurin."
An inquest previously heard Mr Rees, who lived in the nearby village of Trealaw with his wife, died at the scene from severe blunt force trauma to the face including multiple facial fractures.
In a statement after his death, his family said: "John was the very definition of a good man, extremely respected and liked in the community.
"He was proud of his family, proud to be a Welshman and devoted to All Saints Church.
"We will all miss him terribly."

MIKEL ARTETA ADMITS ARSENAL 'MUST DO MORE' TO BEAT BIG SIX
The versatile midfielder was the subject of a bid from Premier league rivals Wolves over the summer, but has detailed how a pep talk from the manager convinced him to stay
Ainsley Maitland-Niles has revealed Mikel Arteta convinced him to stay at Arsenal this summer by convincing he had much more to give for the Gunners.
Maitland-Niles was the subject of a bid from Wolves believed to be around £20million, and there was much speculation that he could leave the Emirates to raise funds for Arteta's squad revamp.
However, the manager always wanted him to stay, showing his faith in the midfielder by starting him in both the FA Cup final and semi-final last summer.
And the 23-year-old's versatility has proved more than useful in the early stages of the season, with Maitland-Niles having played on the right of midfield, as a left wing-back and at right-back.
He has also broken into the England set-up, having made his first start against Denmark last week, as he increasingly shows the potential Arteta knew he had.
