Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced plans to start testing passengers arriving from overseas for Covi-19 in a bid to stop the spread of the virus.
The move would mean following a policy used in many other countries around the world, some which have been in place for around six months.
When asked about mandatory negative tests for people arriving in the UK in todays press briefing he replied: “We will be bringing in measures to ensure that we test people coming into this country and prevent the virus from being re-admitted.”
Mr Johnson also confirmed that latest figures from the Office of National Statistics show one in fifty people in England are currently positive for Covid-19.
