Test everyone arriving into UK via airport/seaports inc. sea and airline workers
All persons entering the UK via any means, should be tested for COVID19.
This will prevent the spread of the virus around the United Kingdom.
All passengers, and crews should be tested for COVID19.
The UK doesn’t currently check any persons arriving in the UK.
People are allowed to enter the country from other countries around the world whom have large numbers of COVID19 cases.
Flight crew and sea crews are frontline key workers and are working in close proximity to airport and seaport workers in other countries, and passengers onboard their vessels.
These frontline key workers are possibly spreading the COVID19 virus around the world
