Surprised this has not attracted attention.

Latest reports say 7 passengers from three separate groups were already infectious when they boarded the flight. Another 9 have now tested positive, with the implication that they were infected while travelling (either at the departure airport, in flight, or on arrival). All 187 passengers have been asked to self isolate.
It would be really interesting to know how many of the 187 on board had completed the UK government arrival questionnaire online. I don't know if they check at Cardiff, but (in my experience) they don't at Heathrow.
A Brit who works for me has just quarantined in Italy (on the company dollar) and it cost (hotels, meals, car hire, flights....) around £3,000. I think there is a fundamental problem in that for many isolating abroad if you think you have COVID is simply not something you can afford, both because of the direct cost of the quarantine and the potential loss of income that results. So people will get on the plane even if they think they have it. And if you can't afford to quarantine you are going to think twice about getting a flight in the first place.
These are very difficult times.
