After immigration (egates) there are red zone signs and then another seperate area for red zone arrivals at baggage reclaim.

I arrived around 1.30pm and it wasnt very busy. Egates are back open with Border force checking PLFs etc before admitting entry to the egates. I strongly urge you to print off all your documents and clearly identify which one is which (I used post it notes). The staff were very grateful that I had done that and it is those people who show everything on their phones which is what takes the time.

I understand your concerns and everyones perception of risk is different. I think it is worth remembering that almost everyone going through arrivals will have had a negative PCR test which, whilst doesnt elmiaite the risk, it reduces it significantly.
