Semi-useful, but doesn't cover all points of entry into the UK, and won't necessarily pick up those who are infected but not showing symptoms: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-29559444

Thankfully, our generally well run NHS seems to be set up to deal with any outbreaks in the UK.

It's a step in the right direction, but not enough. We are an island and ought be able to keep any such disease at bay. Any failure to do so is a direct reflection of the government.

It is all so ridiculous. All entries should be stopped ,but it's too late now.Who are the people taking temperatures at the airports.Are they to be suited up against infection/And what of the other passengers who have travelled on the planes with them.
However good the NHS -- is the government always wait, hoping it wont happen. Always 'measures in hand' 'til it's too late.And what about the massive supplies of serum -still waiting at the docks.Awaiting the say so from-- no-one seems to know.
