The airport seemed fine at that time of day but I noticed at the very end passengers were bussed to the terminal at Rhodes. Basically once the passenger join the queue for boarding at Luton until he reached the terminal at the other end there is no social distancing, which must carry a risk.
For those not familiar with Luton this is quite a good video to watch as it shows different parts of the airport.

It carries risk if people are not wearing face coverings because if they cough, sneeze or release fluid particles (which we do breathing anyway) then there is a small risk of that getting in to the eyes of someone stood nearby. The social distance allows those particles to fall. If however everyone is wearing face coverings the transmission is so low it is almost impossible as long as people don’t touch their masks and then touch their face. There is so much scaremongering with this at the moment but if people comply with basic guidance we can almost go about our business as usual.
The exceptions are places like cafes, restaurants, pubs etc where face coverings cannot be worn because of the purpose of that business.
