So far BA are running 6-8 flights LHR-ARN a week probably helped by cargo. SAS operate daily and the DFDS Immingham-Gothenburg ferry still running (but at freight prices and it takes 28 hours).

Despite the media hyperbole, even in Stockholm there is a lot of very effective voluntary social distancing. In contrast, U.K. policy seems to be governed by input just from Imperial college, with no peer review, no revalidation of data inputs...bought to the U.K. by the same team who guided the disastrous response to BSE. Makes you think, rather.
