Isolate arriving passengers at British airports for a minimum of 7 days by law.
Passengers are arriving at UK airports from New York and other infected cities and countries with no advice to self isolate. This should be compulsory for at least 7 days.
We are sitting at home self isolating to help the country and the national health and visitors from overseas from infected countries are not even being advised to self isolate on arrival.
