Introduce Covid-19 quick result testing on arrival in to the UK.
No matter where you have come from, the mode of transport taken, the UK Govt needs to implement testing for all people on their arrival into the UK for Covid-19.
Other countries like Austria have implemented such a scheme. The UK, being an open country needs to do the same. People can then feel confident people arriving here for business or pleasure are free of the Virus. In case there is a second wave this measure will make us better prepared.
