Test all passengers for covid upon arrival to UK airports
So many flights are still entering the UK from all over the world and there is no testing. The only measure taken at London Gatwick is the availability of hand sanitizer before passport control. After this, passengers could go straight onto a tube in London, spreading covid instantly.
Whilst we may be in lockdown, with everyone trying their best to prevent the spread, with these flights and passengers going to all corners of the country, the spread will continue. There needs to be more done upon arrival, if not a test, some kind of quarantine like in other countries.
