Future Coronavirus Testing at all UK borders to prevent imported cases
Rigious testing at all UK borders for Coronavirus to prevent imported cases of the virus into the UK, quarantining immediately any suspected UK citizen or foreign visitor with the virus
Once the cases of Coronavirus are eliminated/reduced in the UK, preventation of imported cases is surely essential at UK borders, and by testing at the UK borders this becomes key to ensure the virus does not return to the UK
We have the advantage that we are an island nation and only need to monitor both airports and ferry ports in comparison to other countries which share their borders
