Coronavirus: Heathrow to create separate arrival area
Precautionary measure will apply to flights from region of China hit by outbreak of virus
People arriving at Heathrow from the Chinese city hit by a coronavirus outbreak will enter through a separate area in an attempt to prevent the virus from reaching the UK, the transport secretary has said.
Public Health England is implementing a series of precautionary measures, said Grant Shapps. “There have been some announcements this morning about flights that come direct from the affected region to Heathrow with some additional measures there,” he told Sky News.
