Magaluf could become a hotspot, with little or no facilities in place to treat Covid! Airlines, airports and associated supported infrastructures are replaceable, whilst a life taken due to Covid, is sadly not.
Far too late. This should have been done 10 if not 11 weeks ago. We have had weeks of people arriving from Italy (previously the epicentre) and New York (epicentre in April) plus many other destinations which have quite happily got of aircraft, walked through customs with no testing, who have then used public transport to get into London and then further around the UK. Some of these people will have been carriers of the disease. But we, as the UK, didn't know this and have let them continue to spread the disease throughout the UK. And as usual our incompetent government, with the most incompetent home secretary this country has ever seen, we are 10 weeks too late to enforcing 14 days quarantine on arrival.
Meanwhile over in Greece and probably followed in other countries they are testing all arrivals for COVID19 and once you get your results you are free to enter the country. This is what the UK should be adapting now not some aviation and tourism strangling policy which the government are yet to support. When industry experts are calling for this to be over turned it speaks volumes about how **** the policy really is. Too little, too late.
