As cases rise in China, some countries are restricting travel, such as USA, Japan.
The UK has said it will not impose restrictions.
Is the UK being slow again. Should it put Chinese tourists above the health of its own population and the possible consequences on the NHS.
An example.
Almost half of the 212 passengers who arrived in Italy's Milan airport from China on Monday tested positive for Covid,
I have just retired (again)from a company that does covid testing in clinics throughout the UK the strictest entry requirements were imposed by China....strangely ironic considering what has happened over the past few years.

The best thing about this forum is that it keeps frogface and his brood happy,cos they've nowt else to talk about.
I gave just read that Spain has introduced travel restrictions for China, whilst here in the UK, yet more bumbling from the government.
Slow as last time.
Here we go again, this Govt sitting and waiting to see what comes in from China before they do anything like other countries have, what is wrong with them? thousands are coming in from china and Hong Kong bringing with them god knows which new variants from their millions and millions of infected people.
For God sake wake up have you learnt nothing????
Or are you waiting to have to clap for the underpaid nurses again!!!!

What has happened in China illustrates that lockdowns do not work. They have had a very strict lockdown and all it has done is build up a tsunami of infection. Keeping people isolated means that they do not build up the necessary immunities, so when they are exposed to viruses they're in trouble. Restrictions on incomming China flights are not needed, and would be counter-productive in the long run. We are all well vacinated and herd-immunity will handle new strains.
As far as I can see from interviews with the medical people the Chinese travelling from China to other countries are a far greater risk to China than the countries they are travelling to as they will bring back mutations which haven't as yet been seen in China. We either believe in the effectiveness of the vaccinations in giving us protection or we don't. We have just had millions of Ukranians settling throughout European countries and I haven't seen any increase in the virus as a result. People are at as much risk from their own populations rather than those coming into their country.
Looks like they have changed their minds and now they must test before they come here, I for one am glad, Chinas lockdown would have worked had they get a decent vaccine and made it more available, and the fact that millions are getting covid now is what causes new mutants and variants that maybe we haven't seen, so yes I am pleased they need a test.

The tests will be voluntary and will not stop them coming in, nor would they have to isolate, despite advising us locals, to wear maks or no go out if we have a sniffle.
Another confirmation covid originated from a Chinese lab
Could only find it on yahoo and the telegraph, but the yahoo article will not be here long and the telegraph want you to subscribe to carry on reading the article https://uk.yahoo.com/news/covid-pandemi ... 48915.html
