By all means restrict entry, but restricting people from leaving is just absurd.
The fact of the matter is outbound passengers ARE an issue - they are breaking UK law - a journey to and through an airport increases transmission, a flight potentially too (think about crew - they don’t need to isolate but could pick something up).
On return it’s unlikely everyone will follow quarantine measures adding a greater risk to the UK population; regardless it’s an additional burden on the authorities to have to try to enforce (realise this is poor to begin with, but in principle).
Am stunned at the selfishness by some on here - totally with PG on this - am sure I’ll be jumped on/this post will be taken down in a bit whilst those encouraging departures will remain..
All of us want to get back into the air ASAP; but the more people who choose to break the law, the greater the risk of the virus spreading and the longer we’ll all be stuck on the ground - with the dreaded paper bags being served up once we get back into the air.
