Test all passengers for Covid-19 before entering the UK from worldwide flights.
We want all passengers entering the UK Airports to either be tested for Covid-19 or quarantined before they are allowed to leave the airport and enter our communities. This will further reduce the risk of the infection being brought into our communities whilst we are in lockdown.
We have been asked to go into lockdown and stay away from our families and friends to reduce the risk of spreading the Coronavirus infection further, but then the government is allowing 15,000 people a day to enter our country by air travel from infected countries. The government have no quarantine measures or testing in place for them once they arrive in our country. We want stricter guidelines in place to stop this infection entering our country through air travel.
