Let me make three assumptions, I cannot prove.

1/ That if they were symptomatic, they would not have been allowed on the plane (certainly true in Lisbon I just came from)
2/ They are assymptomatic brits who are repatriating, and are at no greater or lesser risk of having the disease than any of those already here
3/ That on arrival they will obey the social distance rules

If 1/ to 3/ are true. Why would they be any greater risk than any brit already here?

I have no idea what the CMO and CSO are thinking, but I am guessing the above is not far off. Apart from the need to maintain some airtraffic because of express freight

However there's two personal reports on the last half page where people are effectively walking off planes from far horizons, without so much as a test. Given the restrictions the general public are living under (which I happen to believe aren't actually that bad considering), you'd think airport health/security would be number one priority.
