British pop star Rita Ora is facing criticism for flying to Egypt for a concert and then violating the mandatory two-week quarantine upon her return to the United Kingdom.

The “Anywhere” singer flew to Cairo on Nov. 21 to perform at a hotel and returned to the UK the next day. On Nov. 28, Ora attended a birthday party for herself with around 30 guests, the British tabloid The Daily Mail reported on Sunday.
