A statement of the obvious at best ;
but a salutary reminder nonetheless.
I personally remain concerned at the ongoing volume of air passenger traffic - dramatically reduced though it is, versus normal times.
Some journeys will be rightly considered ‘essential’, granted ; and a certain percentage will almost certainly
not be. Currently no checks of any kind (whether as to the precise purpose of the journey, or a swab test) are made in relation to those departing or arriving into the UK and we hear that this
could well change very soon.
I absolutely understand that everyone has their own individual risk tolerance / acceptance factor. The core issue is of course the potential for people to become infected whilst travelling, and then to potentially spread the virus within the wider community.
